I mean, if it's a diamond, you really can't do anything but look at it admiringly. Only one person can have it at one time. But hey, with my idea, you can share a little of grandpa with everyone you write a letter to.

Talk about putting the fun back into funerals, I once heard a story about a guy who requested that, instead of a funeral, his friends all be invited to a party. The funeral money went for a jazz band, food, and drinks. Naturally, it turned into a drunken brawl, and they buried him smiling.
