The World's First Diamond iPad

The world's first diamond iPad is already in production, though the iPads won't be available until April 3.

Mervis Diamond Importers, who created the Diamond Dreidel we featured back in December, is planning to release this stunning design to the masses in very limited quantities in June. The Mervis Diamond iPad features 11.43 carats of diamonds, hand-set in this beautiful oblique micro-pave style. The diamonds are graded G/H in color and VS2/SI1 in clarity. This is fine jewelry you can e-mail from.

A number of diamond iPads are sure to be coming out soon, if the rash of diamond iPods is any indication, but the first may indeed be the best in this case. The design is understated and classic -- and unbelievably sparkly. Can't you see this becoming a family heirloom? Even if the handheld devices of the future are different, this will become a vintage piece with high geek appeal.

The Mervis Diamond iPad costs $19,999.00. Orders can be placed online here or by calling 703-287-1615 after June 1.
