Diamond Chess Set is Too Opulent for Opulence

royal_diamond_chess1

Featuring a ridiculous 9900 black and white diamonds, this Diamond Chess Set goes beyond opulence and skips right to “I’m so rich I use hundreds as toilet paper” and “I eat diamond encrusted cupcakes” money.

The $224,000 price tag actually seems sort of low considering the crazy amount of craftmanship and the thousands of gems installed in the set. 4500 hours of artisanship was poured into this thing. Reasonable is pushing it. More stuff you will never have a chance to own.

Continental iPhone 3G Got That Bling Thang

When the word “Continental” comes to mind, I tend to think of a shit dive bar in Manhattan where you can get 5 shots of any liquor for $10. Anytime. Yes, it’s amazing and here’s a limited edition iPhone to match. It’s an all black iPhone 3G encrusted with a combination of black and white diamonds. Think that’s rich? Each is hand made and is of course, limited edition. Better have the loot to back up your style, though. Continental’s iPhone 3G is going for about $6500.

The Most Expensive Cupcake Ever! Nom Nom Nom….

There’s not a lot known about this delicious looking chocolate cupcake other than three things:

1. It was designed by Judith Leiber.
2. It is jewel-encrusted and full of diamonds.
3. It costs $4295.

Now I believe it acts as an evening bag, so again, I’m assuming most women are throwing things like lipstick, tampons, money and a whole lot of bullshit into this thing. For $5000, why not just get something a little less tacky? I’d certainly take a cupcake from Magnolia of Judith’s any day of the week…

Persian Carpet Puzzle Is Hypnotically Bad Colored

Persian rugs are ridiculously expensive. I mean come on, it’s not like the damn things are entwined with Pamela Anderson’s pubic shavings (or even diamonds) or something. If you’ve always wanted a Persian rug, but can’t afford that kind of carpeting luxury, then until now you were shit out of luck.

The Persian Carpet Puzzle concept is a much cheaper way of getting that Persian look. Assembling the carpet yourself using a specially made jigsaw puzzle. Of course this carpet would not be nearly as nice to walk on, but you can’t have it all. Choose from a collection of 70 colors to make your own design.

Be the king of bling with the Hublot Million Dollar Watch

Yo, dawg. We gots a question for y’all homeboys. Is there such thing as too much bling? Normally that answer would be, “Umm, we don’t think so, but ask Lil’ John.” But this addition to the Hublot series of Big Bang watches makes us believe that there is indeed the possibility to have to much ice around your wrist.

With a staggering 493 (count ‘em) diamonds and gems encased in a setting of 18K white gold. If that isn’t luxurious enough, take into account that this a a one-of-a-kind watch which took over 2,000 hours of manpower to produce. Ha, we wish we were joking on that one. Don’t get your piggy banks out just yet. This exclusive watch has already been sold. To a rapper we presume. — Andrew Dobrow

Bracelet Phone design concept

Why fill up precious pocket space with a cell phone when you can just wear one on your wrist? The Bracelet Cellphone concept design by Tao Ma allows for that simple luxury. When receiving a call or message, the bracelet vibrates lightly. You answer by pressing one of the strategically placed diamonds. The big downfall? No screen display or typical number pad.

We guess it also depends on whether you want to be seen talking into your bracelet as well. We imagine that being a little embarrassing. Strangely enough, the bracelet also plays MP3’s. — Andrew Dobrow
