Infamous for guessing the winner of the past World Cups, the psychic octopus Paul has been immortalized in a 22-karat gold figurine.
From Kolkata, India’s Shree Ganesh Jewelry designers comes this luxurious figure that was recently presented at the 2010 India International Jewelery Show.
Made entirely of 22-karat gold, Paul the Octopus weighs in at 7.27 pounds and is being valued at around $171,650. Wow, I bet Paul wished he was still a trim 7 pounds.
/>To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the classic cartoon character Snoopy by Charles M. Schulz, a Hong Kong jeweler has created a 207-carat Diamond Snoopy.
Infamous luxury brand TSL has given Snoopy the grand treatment with a whopping 207-carat Diamond Snoopy. At 5.5 inches, this luxury Snoopy features 9,917 diamonds, 783 black diamonds and 415 rubies. It took TSL’s designers over eight months to create this sparkling Snoop and if you have a spare $427K lying around he can be yours!
Check out the latest in Montblanc‘s limited edition writing instrument (yeah, the many-syllable alternative to “pen”) which celebrates Queen Elizabeth I.
The pens are part of the new Patron of Art Edition Pens and comes in two variants – the 4810 and the even more limited 888 edition.
The lacquer of both editions is modelled on the queen’s royal garments. The cap features the British Crown cross, the royal insignia and the Tudor Rose. The words “Video et taceo” – the queen’s supreme prinviple – is engraved as well.
The 4810 edition have a body and cap of black resin with gold-plate inlay while the 888 is a solid gold fountain pen with a red lacquer barrel and cap. The nibs are hand-crafted 18K gold with engraved royal crown motif.
As many a chauvinist would say, the engagement ring is your downpayment for world of hurt. But for many guys, the process of procuring a ring alone is already a world of hurt.
The whole three-month’s pay rule is basically a marketing ploy but that’s how rings are viewed these days. And how much you earn in a month would dictate the kind of ring (based on color, clarity, and carat) that you can afford.
Here’s one of the most expensive engagement rings out there – the De Beers platinum ring. The diamond on this one’s 9 carats. Not really the biggest but is almost flawless and tops in clarity.
It’s valued at $1.83M.
Now that’s how many decades of work before Mr. Average Joe can buy this ring?

Yes, you saw that title correctly. From Switzerland’s Artya’s comes a new timepiece that we swear you’ve never seen its like, the Dinosaur Dung Watch.
Made from fossilized dinosaur poo, this new watch will certainly be a conversation piece. With an American cane toad strap, you won’t sport any luxury item similar to this again, so why not go for the $11,290 price tag?
With last fall’s Lindsay Lohan collaboration with Ungaro not selling well or receiving high marks from critics, people are speculating if LL is still involved with the brand.
It all became a bit suspicious when Lohan was in Paris recently but did not attend the Ungaro presentation and when this year’s line was a bit more above the 1980s bar Lindsay presented. Even Booth Moore of the LA Times says that the line is better Loganless, and that’s good enough for us.
