Well, it seems it would only be a small portion that would be used in a gem... I'd think you'd still have to decide what to do with the rest. Unless you really want to have a LOT of earrings, LOL.
In any case, it brings a whole new meaning to the term "the family jewels".
Unfortunately, OB is an only child, and I don't wear that much jewelry, though a tennis braclet of lifegems would be a conversation piece. The prices are a bit offputting for something like that.
I noticed one of the 'testimonials' was a pet owner who had a lifegem made from her cat!
