Diamond Encrusted Different Accessories

Samsung's Diamond Studded MP3 Player

I guess one way to compete with the poplarity of the iPod in the digital music player arena is to aim for exclusivity. One way to achieve exclusivity (and healthy profits per unit) is to cover said player in precious gems and minerals and charge through the nose.
A few months back we wrote about the Jens Of Sweden
Excentrique MP-400, a 1GB player plated in 24K gold and selling for $1,199.00. Since Apple is selling their 1GB iPod Shuffle for $149 you can see the potential for increased margin a limited edition unit (dipped in gold) can offer.
Now mass electronics manufacturer Samsung is jumping into the low-production, high margin, specialty item game. A few weeks ago they announced at CES an MP3 player studded with diamonds.
Shaped like a pocket watch, the Samsung YP-W3 is certainly an attractive unit. In fact, the diamond studs encircle the round display with one stud for each hour on a clock.

Outside of the sharp looks there is nothing unique about the Samsung YP-W3 technically. The YP-W3 offers units with between 128 MB to 1 GB of memory and offers a built-in FM tuner along with FM and voice recording. The YP-W3 plays the MP3, WMA format. It also plays Ogg Vorbis.
Hmmm, with this unit I could be quite the fancy Ogg user as I walk down the boulevard . The Samsung YP-W3 sells for $870. Samsung has not said how many of these players will be produced, but even if the Hammacher-Schlemer set takes a shine to it the numbers should be quite limited.

The Diamond Cell Phone Strap

The diamond phone owners might would like to pimp-out their ultra-blingy sets even more with this diamond studded mobile phone strap that costs way more then a majority of the luxury phones in the market. Or if you don’t possess a diamond Vertu or a Goldvish, you can add a million dollar appeal to your handset with this dangling diamond mobile phone charm! This one-of-a-kind diamond-studded strap is designed by Diaddict, a designer Japanese brand that specializes in jewelry. The luxurious phone accessory features a 6.02-carat yellow diamond, as well as 2.1-carats in clear, white diamonds, a .61-ct. blue diamond and a .36-ct. pink diamond and is currently on display at the Takashimaya Co. departments store in Nihombashi, Japan for a listed price of $842,000.

Asanti's Diamond studded wheels $1 million dollars for the set


The perfect gift for the rich person who has everything: gold and diamond-encrusted toothpick sleeves. There's only one requirement: the recipient must love bling. Made by E.K.D.O and called Icepiks, these jewelry accent pieces are quite beautiful and although they're tiny they're definitely not subtle or understated. Made of bright gold in yellow, white, or rose and encrusted with jewels like diamonds, rubies, and sapphires they're designed to let the wooden end of the toothpick take care of business while the end you're holding brags style and luxury. What a gorgeous little bit of glitter to give this Christmas! $800-$3000+
Diamond-encrusted Playstation controller

Some love Xbox, some love Wii, but it looks like the Playstation’s got a serious fan, right? Made of 18k solid white gold and over 68.34ct of black diamonds, this is one impressive Playstation controller chain. The question we ask you, dear readers, is who’s chain is it? Jay-Z, Paris, or Shaquille O’Neal? Well, none of them. To find who rocks the rocks, hit the jump!
