Vertu Pink Diamond Phone
I was not previously aware of this, but it turns out diamonds come in pink! The Steinmetz Pink Diamond is the largest pink diamond ever, but the Vertu Pink Diamond phone is covered in much, much smaller pink diamonds. (It also comes in white diamonds, but this is Pink Blog, so who cares about the white one?) There are 923 pink and white diamonds, sapphires, and rubies on the phone, and the keypad is rose gold. The price has reportedly not been released to the public - “if you have to ask, you can’t afford it” - but I have seen rumors that it’s $20,000 or more.

I really despise this sort of conspicuous (sp?) consumption. It’s fine for the makers to create it — that’s “creativity”, I suppose — but anyone who would buy such a thing is an idiot.
