Hey! How are you doing today! Glad to see you! Remember the Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"? Perhaps that should now be "Lucy in the CyberSky with Diamonds". More on that in just a sec. I see you hurrying over towards the coffeepot. Good idea! Fill your mug and moosh a virtual treat onto your plate, too. Now where was I??? Ah, yes, diamonds...
British designer Christopher Shellis has created an
unbelievably expensive women’s clutch bag – it costs a whopping $180,000
and it’s so small that it can hardly hold more than a cell phone. The
tiny bag measures 7 inches by 5 inches, but it’s surprisingly heavy at
half-a-kilogram, thanks to all the bling piled on to it.
All that weight is attributed to the 345 diamonds that are
studded on the 18-carat gold bag. It took Shellis and his team of
dedicated goldsmiths and diamond setters over 100 hours to create the
bag. “The inspiration and design was drawn from the Buckingham Palace
gates,” Shellis explained.
“Like the palace gates, it conveys its own very regal
presence. It would not look out of place among the collection of jewels
in the Tower of London itself. It could easily be worn by any royal
princess.”
A 1000 year guarantee? Do they know something we don't? Ah, well, maybe when we win the lottery...
See ya, eh!
