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.

The World's First Diamond Dreidel

Not all dreidels are made out of clay. Over the years, they have come in many forms, but now, Mervis Diamond Importers is claiming to have created the world's very first diamond dreidel.

The Platinum Micro-Pave Diamond Dreidel (right) is priced at $1,800.00, and is available in very limited quantities. It features .96 carats of diamonds hand-set in platinum. For those of you in-the-know, the diamonds are graded G/H in color and VS2/SI1 in clarity.

It must be ordered by December 9 to ensure a delivery by Hannukah. This is not only an exceptional gift for those of the Jewish variety, but for diamond collectors and anyone fascinated by religion. For more information on dreidels (how to play, what the different sides mean), check out the Judaism.com page, or click here to play virtually.

Creating The Diamond Cupcake

Diamond wedding cakes have made the rounds but doesn't the humble cupcake deserve a shot at diamond dazzle? Mervis Diamond Importers says they are the first to create a diamond cupcake. The cupcake is topped with eight ideal cut round brilliant diamonds around its circumference, and a two carat Asscher cut diamond in the center for a total value of $30,000. The cupcakes (there are two like this) will be on display at Mervis Diamond Importers, for their "Cupcakes and Wedding Rings" trunk show on May 1 and 2. You can see more photos of the cupcake at the Mervis website.

Why did Jonathan Mervis decide to do this? He's heard that question a few times and says that he sees it from a couple of different angles: "Firstly, I'm having fun. But secondly, I'm in the business of helping make engagements and weddings as stunning and memorable as possible. On the big wedding day when money is no object, I think a diamond-topped cupcake could be the ultimate in luxury. I've already had a few phone calls inquiring about more "affordable" diamond cupcakes, and I could foresee a situation where diamond cupcakes become the 'it' thing for brides."

He has applied to the Guinness Book of Records to see if he can get listed as the world's first diamond cupcake. But beyond the obvious publicity spin, Mervis also has an interesting point about the connection between sweets and luxury treats and the salutary benefits of indulgence. He asks if, in a time like this "when so many Americans are in the poor house, can it be healthy to dream for a moment and let our minds play with images of decadent diamond cupcakes?"
