What Jewellery would you like to be

Not sure if Daily Life is the best place for this thread but here goes.

This Swiss company is offering to turn your dead loved ones in to Diamonds. The technology has been around for a while apparently.

Nothing says "I love you" more than a super heated compressed corpse.

So, the big question is, would you? Could you? Should you? And if so, what sort of Jewellery would you like to come back as. I'm thinking of donating my body to be Kylie's belly-button ring.

Re: What Jewellery would you like to be

Prince Charles once wanted to be a tampon - I wonder whether he has moved with the times and wants to be a piercing?

Re: What Jewellery would you like to be

How random!

Just last night I was out, and one of my friends said to another, "is that a pearl necklace?".

Hilarity ensued... For 2 hours.

Mmmm, not for everyone but I can see where you're coming from with that suggestion.

Re: What Jewellery would you like to be

I knew exactly what piece of jewelry I didn't want to be but now I know it by name. Interesting Prince Albert, any idea on what a queen Vic is?

It's a pub in the East End where Diamond Geezers congregate - but that's not important right now.
