Diamonds from Michael Jackson’s Hair?

At I Do we prefer to mine diamonds the old-fashioned way. By encouraging consumers to sell barely-used diamonds to enthusiastic buyers. But sometimes hype and technology conspire to create a unique moment in history. The creation of 10 half-carat diamonds from Michael Jackson’s hair set on fire during an infamous Pepsi shoot is one of those moments.

According to LifeGem, the creators of hair-to-diamond technology, Jackson’s hair will be heated to 5,400 degrees reducing it to carbon. The carbon is then crystallized and turned into diamonds in a process that takes at least six moths

We like diamonds with a story too but prefer diamonds at a discount even more. Like this stunning engagement ring.
