She died in 2001, so if she did have a life insurance policy, I'm pretty sure my dad has spent it by now.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

Better question - why would you want a diamond? Unless you are using it to cut things, it's just a useless status symbol.
Even as jewelry, it's the least pretty of all the gems. I mean, clear? It's not even a color!

to have a diamond made from the remains of someone i knew? that kind of just creeps me out. the only way it could be badass is if you were a gangster and everytime you killed someone you got them turned into a diamond, so the more diamonds you had in your chain the tougher it impied that you were.
but just creepy otherwise

Its the sparkle.
The properties of the material slow light down to a fraction of its nominal speed, which tends to maximize the effect of the light being bent around and throwing off purdy colors.
Diamonds can't be beat.
