It's been 25 years since the infamous Pepsi commercial shoot in which Michael Jackson's hair accidentally caught on fire, but even though the charred locks of hair have been sitting away quietly for all these years, they've finally found their purpose: to be turned into diamonds.

Chicago-based jeweler LifeGem, which specializes in creating diamonds from hair samples (from the likes of Beethoven and Marilyn Monroe), has announced plans to release a limited collection made from the King of Pop's hair.
 
"Our plan is to give people an opportunity to own a diamond made from Michael Jackson's DNA," said Dean VandenBiesen, founder of LifeGem, in a statement.

"We are currently evaluating the sample to determine how many diamonds can be created. This will be a limited collection and we anticipate great interest."

Memorial diamonds for MJ? We wonder about the price tag on these! The pop legend lives on in as many ways as we could possibly imagine.
