Bling rarely costs this much. An unidentified Hong Kong business commissioned craftsman Stuart Hughes of Liverpool to create an iPhone valued at approximately $15 million.
The iPhone 5 has 600 flawless white diamonds and solid gold dressing. The Apple logo itself has 53 diamonds. But the crown jewel is a rare 26 carat black diamond, which has been incorporated into the phone as the home button. The black diamond alone is valued at $14.5 million.
It reportedly took Hughes nine weeks to create the luxury iPhone.
