There are people who can afford the very “best of the best” and frequently purchase the best cars, food, vacations, homes and many other goods or services. Outside of this is everyone else, right? Actually, that’s wrong. There are those who live even a step above the best and lead a life beyond just simple luxury. For these folks there can often appear to be no limits, and nowhere is that more clear than when they purchase diamonds. For them a lovely and elegant diamond tennis bracelet is nothing compared to an enormous and one of a kind stone, and so for them we present a list of a few objects they might want to consider during their next shopping trip.
The diamond and gold teddy bear—a famous and popular German teddy bear company marked its one hundred and twenty-fifth year in business with a special product. They created a stuffed bear built from some of the most luxurious materials ever used. With solid gold fur produced by spinning the material into thin and huggable threads, sapphire and diamond eyes and a limited edition of only one hundred and twenty-five ever to be made or available, this is definitely a “must buy”.
The one hundred million dollar skull—any of those super fortunate billionaires who happen to fancy art should take a look at the platinum and diamond covered human skull created by artist Damien Hirst. While a copy of the actual skull was cast in platinum for the piece, the teeth are the real deal, and the more than eight thousand diamonds that cover it are totally authentic as well. Set in the middle of the forehead of the skull is a single diamond with an estimated value of over four million dollars. This is one investment in art that will be sure to appreciate.
The Diamond-tini—for those who are thirsty and also craving a new diamond, a chain of luxury hotels has created the ultimate beverage. Their “diamond-tini” requires some simple ingredients: vodka, organic lime, a one and a half carat diamond straight from the freezer and a professional singer. To enjoy the drink the guest sits back and watches as the ice cold diamond is plinked into the bottom of a traditional martini glass over which the vodka and lime are poured. Of course the real magic of the drink takes place as the singer performs a soothing rendition of “Diamonds are Forever“. Once the uniquely chilled beverage is consumed the hotel’s jeweler fits the diamond into the customer’s setting of choice. Not thirsty? The hotel also offers a very popular one hundred dollar hamburger.
Diamonds in the roughage—not really, but a healthy dose of vegetables can be cooked up in a special eleven inch saucepan that comes with a tightly fitting lid. Of course the fun in cooking with this pan is that there are more than two hundred diamonds bedecking its handles (crafted from over two pounds of gold) and lid. Be warned: no amount of gold and diamonds will help you if you can’t cook!
Making a perfect call—it will be hard to put down your cell phone when it is enrobed in over four hundred diamonds. There is a British based mobile phone manufacturer who has crafted the ultimate iPhones, available in white or yellow gold and offering a minimum of five and a half carats per unit. The retailer has been consistently selling out so be sure to place your order as soon as possible! Of course if a phone like no other is desired there is a phone available. Limited to only three in existence, the “Le Million” cell phone is a handcrafted gold and diamond wonder. Available as a rose, yellow or white gold unit, it is outfitted with the most up to date technologies and adorned with more than one hundred and twenty carats of diamonds.
Oh! What a Christmas Tree—one of the world’s most expensive Christmas trees was produced by jewelers in the United States in 2007. Using more than five pounds of gold to cast the perfect tree they then decorated it strictly with more than two hundred and fifty carats of diamonds and set a single four and a half carat round brilliant cut diamond at the top. This is a one of a kind creation that even made it’s way into the “Guinness Book of World Records”.
Seal it with a kiss—we’ll finish the list with the ultimate in lipsticks, or more appropriately in lipstick tubes. A French cosmetics firm is offering their customers who purchase a specially made and individually crafted lipstick, which is matched strictly to their complexion, a special tube to hold it in as well. This is an eighteen carat gold and two hundred diamond encrusted unit that has a few ruby and emerald accents to give it the perfect finish.
