According to Newsday, charred strands of Michael Jackson's hair from his tragic 1984 Pepsi commercial shoot have been sold and turned into diamonds by a Chicago-based jeweler.

Oddly enough, this isn't the first time a famous musician has been memorialized in gemstones. The same collector and jeweler collaborated on a series featuring locks of Beethoven's hair in 2007.

Do you think "hairy" jewels are creepy or creative?
