I don't know but all those guys huddled up together and not one single sign of a female ....
I'm a high bidder on that Jesus piece on ebay, anyone know who the maker was?
Did you even read the posts?Multiple people said it was fake
I just want to clear this up, I never said the piece was fake. I simply was not sure about the seller (diamondcity) and was looking for more info on both the seller and the piece from my peers in this thread. Diamondcity cleared up what i had asked about. But while on topic diamondcity I am interested in trying to cop as are a few others in here and I am looking for some more info. In the auction it says "you think" the diamonds are SI and G-H. any chance you can confirm? also I would like to know who did the Mold.....did you guys mold and cast this or what? Just some more info and background on this piece would be cool.
Reread the posts.
Thanks for the info my man, even if i dont cop this i will be getting at you about getting a piece. again i appreciate the clarification.
The eyes on the piece are .10 VS1 G color stones. The rest of the diamonds are SI1-2 G-H color. There are several stones that are I, one of them being on the bail.
We cast our stuff but this piece was casted by our partners, and the casting did not come out perfect. If you take a close look at the back of the piece you will see several imperfections in the casting. Its not a huge deal but we like our pieces to be perfect, so we just decided to auction this one off.
Our new Baby versions 100% exactly as this mold will be posted tomorrow

cool concept for the clasp

looking good, i will be one of the 1st in line no doubtWe will be posting the finished piece tomorrow, but here is a pic of the raw unpolished piece so everyone can see what the baby mold looks like
We will also have micro versions and a "Mini" version measuring 1.25 inches tall without the bail, a little smaller than the baby.

Turning Dead People Into Materials
Once upon a time, human beings were biodegradable. But with modern-day corpses shot full of embalming chemicals before being sealed inside metal coffins, it will be a long time, if ever, before those bodies go back into the earth.
The alternate method of cremation, of course, turns human bodies into ash; and now Swiss company Algordanza has taken it a step further, by figuring out how to compress that ash into diamonds. For US $5,000 to $22,000, your remains, or those of a loved one, can be turned into as many as nine diamonds, presumably depending on the volume of ash. And what's fascinating is that there is some color variation:
Most of the stones come out blue, [Algordanza CEO Rinaldo] Willy says, because contains trace amounts of boron, an element that bone formation. Occasionally, though, a diamond pops out white, yellow or close to black - Willy's not sure why. Regardless, he says, "every diamond from each person is slightly different. It's always a unique diamond."
Bling not your thing? Spanish industrial designer Gerald Moline can help you spend your next life entwined with a tree. Moline invented the Bios Urn, a kind of biodegradable pot created from coconut shell, peat and cellulose. With your ashes and the seed of your choice placed inside, the entire thing can then be buried. Once germination takes place, your soul is now in a position to provide some shade—or perhaps lumber—for the next generation.
