Apple iPhone 3G, Studded with Diamonds

Filed under: Gadgets


I'm not generally a big fan of diamond-encrusted cell phones but I think the iPhone lends itself to the idea better than others because it's so sleek and has such a limited area where diamonds can be placed. Claiming to be the world's first real diamond-studded iPhone, the Apple iPhone 3G by Swiss jeweler Knalihs Athem is made with 475 brilliant cut diamonds totaling 3.75 carats. Only 50 iPhone 3G handsets will be created on a made-to-order basis, with the first 10 units being sold at the special price of $10,000. iPhones 11-50 will be priced "sharply upwards."

I'm not sure what that translates to exactly but it sounds like if you want one you better move fast.

Apparently we all can't get enough of diamond earpieces for our mp3 players, because new ones keep popping up. One of the latest is the iDiamond Ear from Norwegian jeweler Heyerdahl Jewelers, and it's being marketed as "the world's most exclusive earphones for commercial sale." The iDiamond Ear is created by dipping Apple earbud headphones in 18k gold and covering them in 204 brilliant cut diamonds. There will be only 1,000 pairs created, which will be numbered and sold exclusively in the Heyerdahl store starting this upcoming February. $6,400

Worst Diamond Gizmos

Bedazzling any object with bits of diamonds makes it appear more high-style, but some things are better left without being slathered in sparkles. The following made it on Wired's Worst Diamond-Encrusted Gadgets; and I have added even a few more to that!
Here are some additions to round out the list: I don't know about you but I would be happy just to get two matching diamond studs to put in my ears! (CZ's are probably more likely).
