Diamonds Take The iPhone To A New Level Of Dazzle
Thursday, July 31st, 2008It’s been christened the Olympic Diamond 3G iPhone and it was unveiled in London by De Vere’s. If you want bling, this one’s got oodles of it – there are eighty eight diamonds all around the screen and it is priced at over £4000. Well, actually, £4188. One wonders why that particular number of diamonds till you find out that according to Chinese folklore, the number stands for double wealth.
Well, we say, you need all that wealth to go looking at this iPhone! However, looking at the many luxury phones that have been making an entrance into the market, we could be wrong. The demand for them especially in countries like Russia and China seem to be phenomenal and this lucky number should be just the right touch for the Beijing Olympics. Even the opening date – 8-8-08 makes you realise just how much importance they give this lucky number.
88 might be a lucky number for the Chinese but a customer is also free to choose the number of diamonds that could be set in the iPhone as well as the design. The phone could be a special coming of age present or an anniversary gift in which case, you could have the exact number of diamonds that you specify on the phone. There’s a very expensive one with 168 diamonds that is priced at £7888. Diamonds are the gems of choice but if you have a preference for any other precious stones, you can get those set as well. Here’s to Olympic diamond days ahead!
