The iPhone 5 Black Diamond: More than 11 Million Euros

The iPhone 5 Black Diamond is the most expensive smartphone in the world

While ordinary people are trying to personalize their smartphones and to make them look unique with a help of a case a few dollars worth, a Chinese businessman preferred to afford design of a much more original and pompous device. The wealthy entrepreneur has spent no less than 11 and a half million euros to have a gold and diamond set item. A little price difference compared to the current cost of a new iPhone 5 on the market (about 600 €).

He used the service of Stuart Hughes, a British designer who specializes in luxury gadgets design.

IPhone 5, both a communicator and a precious accessory

This unique model of iPhone 5 was called the Black Diamond.

As its name shows, the iPhone 5 Black Diamond is decorated with a huge black diamond, which replaces the "Home" button, situated in the centre of the front panel bottom on all iPhones. The screen of this personalized by Stuart Hugues device is framed by 135 grams of 24 carat gold. The screen itself is made of sapphire glass, known for its very strong resistance to scratching. The edges of the phone are encrusted with no less than 600 white pure diamonds! The apple, a logo of the company, after its modification, is made of solid gold and decorated with 53 diamonds.

In order to see this luxury creation from all its angles, you just need to visit the website of Stuart Hughes.

In particular, we can learn that the detailed work on the iPhone 5 Black Diamond lasted 9 weeks. Has the Chinese businessman insured his unique smartphone against theft and breakage?

Creations by Stuart Hughes

This is not his first attempt to customize devices. The Nokia Supreme (with pink diamonds) and the iPad Supreme Fire Edition (facade made of plated gold) are also among his customized mobile devices. The fancy designer is not specialized only in devices of such kind; he also decorates aquariums, cars as well as mp3 players.

Stuart Hughes has also designed a more available, "discount" version of the Black Diamond. It is a gold-plated model, which still costs a whopping amount of 25,000 euros. A more affordable but still much beyond an ordinary man's purse...
