Jewels made from father's ashes

The first synthetic diamonds made from the ashes of a man are to be set into jewellery so they can be worn by his family.

The geologist's ashes were heated and pressurised to produce the gem.
The process produces a raw crystal which is then polished and shaped.
Mrs Tandy's £2,250 pale yellow diamond was the first produced by the company.
She ordered further pieces for her daughters so they can remember their father who died from heart failure in April 2003.

Impressive!

All of a sudden, "tied around her little finger," takes on a competely different and literal meaning.
