LifeGem, a company that transformed the hair strands of the famed Ludwig van Beethoven into diamonds will yet again adopt the similar procedure on the hair of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.
The CEO of LifeGem, Greg Herro had stated that a bunch of Jackson’s hair that was scorched while filming for the well-known Pepsi commercial in 1984 may well be used to create nearly 10 half-carat diamonds.
The process would involve heating the hair strands to close to 5,400 degrees that would turn it into carbon, which would further undergo crystallisation and be converted to diamonds. The patented procedure would take close to nine months.
Herro further mentioned that their process of growing diamonds is similar to Earth’s natural process, but their process is significantly faster.
John Reznikoff, an avid collector, who had previously gathered a few of Beethoven’s tresses, had recovered it from the executive producer of the Pepsi Commercial, Ralph Cohen who had used his Armani jacket to douse the fire off Jackson’s hair.
LifeGem that previously on ebay traded the Beethoven diamonds for $2,00,000 are now looking forward to trade the Jackson diamonds surreptitiously. A number of requests have already started pouring in for the Jackson diamonds and the plan is that one of the diamonds would be presented free to Jackson’s children as homage to their father.
