The front bezel consists of 136 flawless diamonds, which total to a massive 68 carats. The rear Apple logo in solid gold has 53 flawless diamonds amounting to 1 carat, and the phone’s front navigation button comprises a rare diamond of 7.1 carats. The chest which houses this unique handset is made from a single block of Granite , in Kashmir gold with the inner lined with Nubuck top grain leather , which weight is a massive 7kg.







Designed by Stuart Hughes, the phone took him ten months to make, and it was reportedly commissioned by an anonymous Australian businessman.

“The iPhone is the phone with the most tricks on the market. What possibly could we do to trick it up more? Bless it with the finest precious metal and jewels,” said Hughes.

“Most of the ten months was spent trying to source the diamond for the navigation button.”
