Commissioned by a wealthy Chinese entrepreneur, undertake the Stuart Hughes decided with one of his valuable interpretations to make the Apple iPhone 5 smartphone currently the most expensive in the world. The specimen in question of the iPhone 5, baptized with the name Black Diamond, was produced by Hughes as exemplary only, and the value assigned to it, it's been a full 10 million pounds.

Right from the ancient scriptures to the magazines of the high streets of fashion, we could notice that there is an immense need to deck oneself in precious stones and metals.

When the “rubies on phone” 3G iPhone was launched, people like me were happy to look at it from a distance. I say it because I cannot handle too feminine look of the handset, does not gel well with the way I carry myself. If you have been reading my posts, you would have guessed that my personality is that I prefer subtle to loud, under stated to gaudy. The new black and white diamond 3G iPhone is something that I would love to carry with me even if I am going to a corporate meet or to attend my grand uncle’s funeral! Sorry to use the expression but it really bugs me every time my sister takes the SIM out of her ruby phone and inserts in some appropriate handset, whenever we have to go for some mourning. I certainly do not mind paying �3599 ($6,500) for this little useful device! Via ContinentalMobiles
