For those of you that hate blinged gadgets, avert your eyes now.
This is the iDiamond iPod, created by jeweller Thomas Heyerdahl, and which has an estimated value of £20,000. Of course, that’s just before the rich and famous start trying to see who has the bigger chequebook when it went up for sale last Thursday at The Feast Of Albion charity auction for the Soil Association, an eco-aware farming group.
Annie Lennox and David Jordan were supplying the tunes while top man, Hugh-Fearnley Whittingstall was in charge of the grub.
The iDiamond is coated in 18-karat white and pink gold and studded with a mere 430 diamonds. Creator Heyerdahl said this will the only one because, frankly, it took so bloody long to do this one.
"It's a special thing, making just one. If we had make this for commercial sale, it would be quite a different thing because then you have to take care of much more things to make it work commercially."
Heyerdahl is also the maker of the expensive, iDiamond series of bling iPod earphones which you can buy, but probably never wear in public.
We don’t know yet who bought this garish iPod, nor how much they paid, but I’m pretty sure you can buy a lot of soil-improving cow shit for £20,000.-Martin Lynch
