Do you recall the unfortunate Pepsi commercial shoot during which the King of Pop's hair caught fire way back in the eighties? While trying to extinguish the flames, a part of the star's hair was retrieved and preserved which is being turned into diamonds.

LifeGem, the company taking up this venture assures of ten sparkling diamonds but are yet to decide on the price.
