Top Cutlines/Friday — 10/10/05
LifeGem shows off one of its creations: a diamond made from the ashes of cremated remains. LifeGem uses super-hot ovens to transform ashes to graphite and then presses the stone into blue and yellow diamonds that retail for anywhere from $2,700 to $20,000. You write the cutline.
