Will this improve the iPhone 4g’s reception?

Oh dear. These novelty diamond things just keep on coming.

It’s been barely a week since the launch of the iPhone 4g, but that hasn’t deterred Stuart Hughes from smearing one with diamonds.

Classy

This little gem features around 6.5 carats of VVS clarity / F colour diamonds, with the Apple logo on the back fashioned out of platinum and studded with diamonds.

A limited edition of ‘just 50′ will be made, according to Hughes’ website, so hurry along now and snap one up for £12,995.

Quite what you do with your £13,000 iPhone 4g when it becomes obsolescent in 12-18 months time… well, we could make a few suggestions.

Oh, and in case you’re balancing on a knife edge of indecision about buying one of these beauties, it comes with a very special accessory: a wallet made from an Ostrich’s foot. At some point we’re going to start believing that this is satire dreamt up by The Daily Mash…

We can think of a few England footballers who deserve one of these – it’s about as classy as their performance at the World Cup.

Diamonds off-the-shoulder and on the ball

The eyes of the world are on South Africa and one local jeweller has cashed in on the attention by coming up with a couple of novelty applications for diamonds.

We’ve blogged about this sort of thing before (diamond iPads, iPhones, cakes, and a diamond Wii), so here we’ll hold back on the comment and simply show you this week’s blinged-up everyday objects. Here they are:

Both of these shiny objects have been brought to the world by SA-based jeweller Shimansky.

For the record, the tattoo features 612 Shimansky Ideal Cut 0.5 carat diamonds, stuck to the model’s skin using a special water-based adhesive in an 8-hour application process, whilst the football is adorned by 6,620 white diamonds and 2,640 black diamonds – a total diamond weight of 3,500 carats.

Reports have valued the tattoo at £640,000 and the football at £1.8 million.
