Normally a diamond of this ridiculous enormity would capture your undivided attention, but it's a little hard to concentrate when the diamond is ATTACHED TO A SEVERED ARM ON A ROTATING BRACKET.  This great sculpture, entitled Engagement Ring Being Followed by a Woman, was created by Tom Schmelzer.  It is meant as a statement about the ridiculous measures of value that society inflicts on itself.  (Found through Pan-Dan).
