The diamond in my wife's engagement ring is more than a billion years old.

It would be cool if we could ID which exploding star it came from.

Diamonds are produced in the earth's crust. The gold in that ring though...

the elements that eventually ended up in earth's crust had to come from somewhere

and i just realized that by this logic everything is actually as old as the universe
