Scientists think they have figured out where heavy elements like gold or uranium come from. They hypothesis that they can be created when two stellar objects merge together like neutron stars or black holes.

Assuming this to be true, jewelry made from these kinds of heavy elements is more valuable than ones that mainly focus on diamonds. Because we have figured out how to make man-made diamonds, which takes less energy to make than heavy elements.

Additionally, if one takes it one step further, the Earth is the product of the collision and merger of stellar objects.
