British jewellery Designer Stuart Hughes has created the world's most expensive phone, the iPhone 4 Diamond Rose Edition, is set to fetch just over $8 million dollars. There will only be two such limited edition iPhone 4's produced, which feature antenna bezels embellished with rose gold and encrusted with 500 100-carat diamonds, the home button has been replaced with a 7.4-carat pink diamond set in platinum, while the Apple logo on the back has been similarly encrusted with 53 diamonds.
Liverpool-based designer Hughes seems to have the diamond touch, as it were, as he has given a similar treatment to a fourth-generation iPod Touch and created a platinum backplate for a 3G iPad which sold for $166,000. His creations are not only limited to Apple products though, Hughes has also made over, among other things, Bang & Olufsen speakers.
The 32GB iPhone does indeed come with a special storage chest made of Imperial Pink granite and lined with Nubuck leather in order to protect the rather costly mobile.
