In some weeks recent relative to the time of this writing,
I've been reading the archives of an on-line comic, and a
particular one inspired this Idea, so see the link.
Some ways of expressing love are more serious than
others.
The notion described in the comic seems to me to have a
flaw,
in that sometimes containers leak.
However, cremation-ashes are mineral-type materials,
and
it is well known that minerals can be fused into solid
shapes (see most any igneous or metamorphic rock). I'm
pretty sure such
shapes can be highly polished, too.
I'm fairly sure this Idea has now been explained
adequately.
Inspiration for this Idea

Just ash on its own won't create a ceramics glaze -
you need some flux, quartz, china clay and possibly
other ingredients too, but it's perfectly doable (see
links) |

The idea differs from its inspiration how ? |

Is it necessary to wait until the person is dead? |

“This diamond used to be my grandmother.” |

“Oh did she wear it in her wedding ring?” |
|

“No, it didn’t belong to her, it was her...” |
|

“That’s just creepy, girl...” |

Fuse them into a stone, with a sword in it. Whomever can
pull it out gets the family inheritance. |
