Diamonds and a baby's skull? The two don't seem to mix, let alone have any correlation...but with Damien Hirst's For Heavens Sake, they are the perfect pair for intrigue, darkness and a whole lot of luxury...or so Hirst wants to convey.

The human skull, on display at the Gagosian Gallery in Hong Kong, is cast in platinum and "covered in 8,128 pavé-set perfect diamonds, 7,105 natural fancy pink diamonds with 1,023 white diamonds on the fontanel." *

While I'm sure his first full sized skull, For the Love of God, may have brought about oohs and ahhs for something that seems daring, he seems to have crossed the line when using a child's. There's something that is not so glamorous about a baby's head encrusted in diamonds. We're used to adult human skulls in the classroom or bio lab...but a baby's? It's offensive.
