Diamonds here, Diamonds there, DIAMONDS EVERYWHERE!! And Glamour Whore is lovin it!! This is a trend I can get on board with...
Lately, diamonds are everywhere, a diamond accented iPhone (3 of them actually), an $800 pair of Anniversary Adidas, a $62,000 diamond encrusted lipstick tube, diamonds as face accents in editorial photoshoots...
Let me show you a few of the products popping up covered in diamonds...
1) Guerlain $62,000 Lipstick
This $62,000 lipstick from Guerlain comes with an 18-karat gold tube encrusted with 2.2 carats of conflict free diamonds, as well as some rubies and emeralds. The shade? Well, the lucky buyer gets to brainstorm with cosmetics consultant, Olivier Echaudemaison, to develop a custom-made shade of lipstick. I can't help but wonder what $62,000 would feel like on my lips... Interested in a diamond encrusted tube of lipstick? http://www.guerlain.com/
2)Diamond iPhone...Pick your price tag.
$176,400 iPhone -Peter Aloisson Princess Plus
With a price tag of $176,400, the phone is embellished with 318 diamonds of 17.75 carats, set in 18k white gold around its rim. Recession?! What recession?
$41,225 Apple Luxury Gold & Diamond Encrusted iPhone
Amosu, a British company that specializes in glitz, brings you this gem at the reasonable price of $41,225 (reasonable if compared to $176,400). This limited edition with 420 diamonds totaling 5.65 carats set in 18k white or yellow gold, with a choice of white, black or pink sapphires...those are the kinds of decisions I enjoy;)
24k Gold and Diamond iPhone by Goldstriker
Goldstriker offers 2 editions. The 24k Gold edition will retail for $787 and the diamond edition will sell for a mere $1,970. The diamond edition features 53 brilliant cut bright white diamonds, totaling 0.36 carat in weight. Believe it or not, this "bargain" iPhone is actually the one I would chose, I love it...
3)Diamond Studded LCD TV $133,000
Plated in white gold and studded with 160 diamonds (4 gm) of diamonds,this 40 inch LCD TV is the most expensive TV in the world... May I have one in the bedroom, kitchen and living room please?
4)Diamond-Studded Adidas
For their 60th anniversary Adidas designed the diamond studded Superstar ‘Diamond Pack’, outfitted with six 0.2K diamonds on each shoe and Swarovski crystals on the lace lock and the tongue. The Superstars’ accompanying tee shirt comes with a whopping 409 Swarovski crystals to comprise the Adidas logo. I really really really want these...really.
5)Diamond Studded Credit Cards
What could possibly be more appropriate than paying for these purchases with a diamond studded credit card?
The smart card maker and online game provider, GK Power, has made a new, high-concept credit card for the real VIP customers. What's says VIP more than a credit card that is embedded with diamonds! GK Power, developed the luxury card and began selling it to local and overseas banks last year. GK recently signed a $175,000 contract with Dubai First Bank in September to supply 1,000 cards worth 300 times more than conventional plain plastic cards for the bank's most valued clients. I don't think I'm on that list...damn, Glamour Whore so needs a diamond studded credit card!!
6)Diamond-Studded Faces
