Want a piece of music history to wear around on your finger? I'm not talking about a ring made out of one of ZZ Top's guitar strings, no sir. I'm talking about real music history. A company called Life Gem is making three diamonds out of DNA taken from Beethoven's hair, allowing a few lucky people to walk around with literally a piece of the famous composer on their hands. Creepy.

The company can also make diamonds out of less famous corpses, allowing you to carry around a piece of your departed loved one in bling form forever and ever. Or at least until you croak and get turned into a diamond. It's the circle of life! Prices range from $3,500 to about $25,000, so start saving now while your future jewelry is still alive. — Adam Frucci
