Top 10 Most Expensive Mobile Phones in the World
by Replica Gifts on Nov.19, 2009, under Mobile Phones
Until recently, the vast majority of mobile phones had been priced between £100 and £300, with only Vertu, a division of Nokia, manufacturing uber-premium phones. With prices starting at around £4,000 Vertu phones are only for the filthy rich, and the super famous.
However, Vertu’s monopoly of the luxury phone market is coming to an end with the launch of several new luxury mobile makers, including Gresso, Mobiado and GoldVish. Other mobile phone manufacturers are also partnering with luxury brands to produce a range of premium mobile phones, such as LG and Prada, D&G and Motorola, and now Tag Heuer and Modelabs. Finally, there are the ridiculous, super-expensive one-offs, made purely for headline grabbing, such as Goldvish’s “Le million”, worth a cool $1,000,000, see below for details!
1. Goldvish “Le million” = $1,000,000 (£540,540)
A PR stunt it may be, and they surely can’t be expecting to sell any, but the Goldvish “Le million” is officially the most expensive mobile phone in the world, according the Guiness Books of Records. There’s even been talk of a $1.3million phone, but this has fewer diamonds than the Goldvish so I can’t see where the extra expense comes from! The “Le million” is a one off, featuring a blinding 120 carats worth of VVS-1 grade diamonds, according to designer Emmanuel Gueit. If $1 million is out of your price range. the Geneva-based Goldvish also offer several other diamond-encrusted 18k gold models in your choice of rose, yellow, or white, starting at a much more reasonable $25,600 (£13,837).
2.Vertu Signature Cobra = $310,000 (£167,567)
Vertu is now taking orders for the Signature Cobra, designed by French jeweler Boucheron, but you had better be quick as only 8 are being made! The Cobra will feature one pear-cut diamond, one round white diamond, two emerald eyes and 439 rubies. Vertu will also be offering a “cheaper” version, ruby free, at $115,000 (£62,162).
3. Sony Ericsson Black Diamond = $300,000 (£162,162)
Apparently the Black Diamond will be available in 2007, not from Sony Ericsson but by a company called VIPN. Initially only 5 unique numered pieces will be available for the unbelievable price of, wait for it… $300,000.
With regards to the specifications, don’t expect anything remarkable for your money. It will have Quad-band with Wi-Fi, an Intel 400Mhz processor running windows mobile 5, and a touch sensitive 2″ screen. It will also include internal memory of 128mb and will come with a 2Gb SD card for external storage, plus a respectable 4 Megapixel camera.
The designer Jaren Goh has used some pretty impressive materials for the build, featuring titane with polycarbonate, mirror-finish cladding and diamonds.
4. Vertu Diamond = $88,000 (£47,567)
The Diamond is Vertu’s premium range of high-end mobile phones. As the name suggests the handsets in the Diamond range are diamond-encrusted handsets made from platinum. Only 200 of the handsets are being produced, the most expensive believed to be worth an estimated £50,000.
5. Motorola V220 Special Edition = £28,000 ($51,800)
Austrian designer Peter Aloisson, has taken a standard Motorola, studded it with 1,200 diamonds and added a keyboard inlaid with 18 carat gold. The outcome is a £28,000 handset, suitable only for footballers and film stars!
6. Gold Edition Nokia 8800 Phone = $2,700 (£1,459)
If you have $2,700 to spare, you can now buy the Nokia 8800 in 24K gold. However, be warned, if you think you’ll be getting a better phone for your extra cash, you wont! The features found on the Gold Edition are the standard 8800 features, which are pretty basic. It includes a 0.5 Mega pixel SVGA camera, 64 MB of internal memory, 64 voice polyphonic rigntones, FM Radio, Mp3 Player, video recording and 180 mins talktime. However, the Gold Edition does includes a special edition box and charging dock!
7. Mobiado Professional EM (wood) = $1,900 (£1,027)
The Mobiado Professional EM, is a wood-clad upgrade of their earlier Nokia-based phone that includes a 1.3 megapixel camera, music player, FM radio, Bluetooth, and according to Mobiado it’s the first production phone with Titanium buttons. Only 200 are being made and each one has its limited number engraved on the back. At $1,900 however, you’re still paying an awfully high premium for a fairly basic phone encased in wood!
8. Bang & Olufsen (Samsung) Serene = $1,250 (£675)
Bang & Olufsen hooked up with Samsung to design the sleek but unconventional Serene. Its not a bad looking phone and it even has a built-in motor to assist you in opening and closing the phone. It’s not very practical however, requiring a special screwdriver to access the battery and the SIM card, and its circular keypad will take some getting used to. Also, for some strange reason they have positioned the camera lens on the side of the device, which will make it difficult to align snapshots via the viewfinder on the display.
9. Lamborghini 8800 Sirocco from Nokia = $To be announced
The Lamborghini Nokia 8800 Sirocco is another special edition, like the previously launch Aston Martin branded Sirocco. It will ultimately be a standard 8800 Sirocco but with the addition of the famous Lamborghini logo engraved on the font and the back, plus ball bearings from the auto company to in the slider phone mechanism. The Lamborghini phone will be a limited edition with only 500 being made. It will also feature Lamborghini graphics as wallpapers, screensavers, ringtones, and even has a short documentary video about the Lamborghini.
10. Gresso Luxury Phone = £expensive
The Russia based Gresso, is a new entry into the luxury phone market. Their aptly name “Gresso Luxury Phone” is made of gold and African Blackwood. Apparently they will be releasing a collection of five models called the Black Aura collection, and the designer is a “well known” Italian designer. Currently there are two versions of the African Blackwood phone, one with pink gold highlights named the Gresso Blackwood Gold Edition, and one made entirely of African Blackwood. In addition to the two African Blackwood phones Gresso also make a phones made entirely of pink gold named the Gresso Gold phone.
Initially, the phones will be on sale only in Russia.

How to Tell Real Tiffany necklaces
by Replica Gifts on Oct.31, 2009, under Jewelry
A real Tiffany necklace is an iconic piece of popular culture made popular by Elle Wood’s pink-clad, sorority girl protagonist in “Legally Blonde.” Unfortunately, dishonest and unauthorized vendors sell fake Tiffany necklaces to uninformed consumers in flea markets, boutiques and on the Internet. If you are looking to tell a real Tiffany necklace from a faux one, use these clues to determine the authentic Tiffany silver jewelry from the widely available, but inferior in quality, fake Tiffany trinkets.
# Instructions: 1. Become familiar with the characteristics of authenticity included in every Tiffany necklace. Every year Tiffany releases new silver jewelry designs. These pieces may include modifications of past designs, but few eliminate the signature details of a real Tiffany & co. jewelry. For example, the necklace’s chain links are always soldered smoothly and closed completely, the heart pendants are not curved or bent, and the engraving is smooth without any signs of shoddy or dotted lettering.
# 2. View the online photos of the jewelry carefully. Online jewelry sellers may copy pictures of real Tiffany’s necklaces from the jeweler’s website to prove to buyers that their merchandise is authentic. Tiffany & Co. sells its authentic pieces on its website only. If the necklace does not have a lobster clasp and the silver color is a light gray or a dark steel hue, the jewelry is not authentic.
# 3.Check the jewelry’s weight and 925 silver designations. According to Tiffany’s official website, in 1851, Tiffany became the first American company to use the 925/100 weight standard for its jewelry. Authentic Tiffany & Co. silver jewelry pieces are engraved with the 925-weight designation on the front or back of each piece of jewelry and on the clasp. A fake Tiffany necklace will also weigh considerably less than the real Tiffany necklace’s standard weight of 72 grams.
# 4.Examine the jewelry’s sales price. Authentic Tiffany jewelry never goes on sale. In 1837, Tiffany founders Charles Lewis Tiffany and Charles B. Young established a pricing model where each piece of jewelry sold has a non-negotiable selling price. If the Tiffany necklace is sold for more than 30 to 70 percent below retail price, you are probably buying a fake piece.
# 5.Look at the packaging for fake necklace clues. Tiffany & Co. packaging is known for its signature Tiffany&Co 1837 Lock Charm Necklace colored pouches and boxes. If you want to spot a fake Tiffany charm, check for irregular-sized pouches and boxes that are not the original, “Tiffany Blue” hue.
