A man
whose son died aged 20 has had his remains exhumed and cremated, so that
his ashes could be transformed into a diamond. The case is thought to
be the first of its kind in Italy.
If you cannot let go off your loved ones, then hold them. Literally! A Swiss firm helps you hold the dead... preciously, indeed!
The firm specializes in transforming the remains of the dead into diamonds.
A 55-year-old man in Italy who lost his son very young now holds him in his hand – in the form of a diamond, reported The Local.
When his 20-year-old son was killed in a car crash, he had his remains exhumed and cremated, so that his ashes could be transformed into a diamond. The case is thought to be the first-of-its-kind in Italy.
'Remembrance diamonds' are created by filtering and refining the carbon found in cremated ashes, then secured in a chamber, where intense pressure and a temperature similar to that of a volcano are applied, creating a synthetic diamond.
The cost of the process ranges from €3,500 to €13,000 depending on the finished diamond's dimensions, the report added.
