The Value of a Diamond is Relative

Ring_diamond_2 And the relative is dad.

Maybe you can’t afford a diamond, but someday you can be a diamond. 

According to Reuters, a woman in Germany asked the court to allow her to transform her dead father into a diamond. Ashes (even human ones) can be pressed, heated and made into synthetic diamonds, a process that has existed since the mid-1950’s.

The court would have agreed, but did not feel there was proof that her father wanted to be a precious stone.

It’s comforting to know that a diamond can be a girl’s best friend. Literally.
