It’s not a ring that was made to have people kill other people, literally. But it does look pretty, and not just pretty unusual, right?

If you take a closer look at the ring, you’ll notice that its (artificial) diamond has been positioned into the frame upside down. That means the pointy side is up and the flat side is facing downwards – making for one deadly looking piece of jewelry.

In a way, you could consider this ring to be sort of, well, an anti-ring. The perfect anti-ring for the anti-Valentine.

The Killer Ring is available from Generate. The sterling silver version sells for just $109 (USD), but you’ll have to add another $740 if you want it in 14K white or yellow gold.

Stuart Hughes, a site that sells extreme luxury items from mobile phones to furniture to homes and liquor, is now peddling the world’s most expensive smartphone at £6,000,000 (or about $9.4 million.) The easiest way to raise the value of a seemingly ordinary object is to dip it in 24-karat gold, stick more than 500 flawless diamonds on it, then store it inside of a solid platinum chest encrusted with rare gems and tiny chunks of bones from T-Rex (I’m serious, that’s what the product page says) and sell it.

And that’s not the only insanely expensive Apple device that Stuart Hughes has in store. He also has a £5,000,000 ($7.8 million) iPad 2 up for sale on the site that has a frame made from “the oldest rock the world has to offer,” Ammolite.

Fantastic sales talk, but I wonder if anyone’s ever going to fork over that much money for a device that retails for less than a thousand dollars? Hopefully, it’s at least the 3G model.

The Nixon Black Diamond watch was designed by Emir Rıfat Işık. While it’s not a real product (as of yet), it sure looks like it would be right at home in Nixon’s modern watch collection.

The watch would feature a bold dot-matrix display (looks like it should be OLED or E-Ink to me), set into a pitch black face. A pyramid-shaped faceted crystal would sit over top, creating cool light-and-shadow effects over the display. The wristband echoes the diamond shapes with its own harlequin embossed pattern as well. About the only thing I don’t care for on this watch is the knob on the side. I get that the pointy shape works with the design, but it’s not a practical shape for gripping with your fingertips, and you’ll probably end up drawing blood at least once grabbing for it.

That aside, I think Emir’s design is quite elegant, and I truly do hope that Nixon looks at the design and calls him up to license it for production. In the mean time, if you like the geometric crystal idea and want a watch you can actually buy, you might want to check out the Nooka Zizm series.

I can’t stomach or justify spending that amount of money on a single meal or iPhone case, but maybe those who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths can. They can also probably dig into this bejeweled dessert that’s priced at £22,000 (~$34,590 USD) without getting an upset stomach – not because of the dessert itself, but because of the price.

This dessert that’s equivalent to the worth of a whole lot of other more useful stuff is actually chocolate pudding layered with biscuit joconde and champagne jelly. The finishing is done with dark chocolate, gold foil leaves, some champagne caviar, and a 2 karat diamond. And obviously, you’re not going to be eating that last ingredient (but if you do, I’ll be sure to check the toilet after you.)

This dessert will break the world record for the world’s most expensive dessert if a patron gives the Lindeth Howe Country House Hotel in Windermere, Cumbria a call three weeks beforehand to order it.

Or maybe you could use it to buy something insanely expensive, like the Devon Tread Watch or one of those gold Æsir phones. That, or I could blow everything to buy the Endless Happiness Pen designed by Anita Tan.

So the next time you hit the town with this pen pinned to your breast pocket, you can literally say that you feel like a million bucks.

Kidding aside, the Heaven Gold Pen was created to celebrate the beginning of the year 2012. Ironic, since it’s also a year that a lot of people say would spell the end for all of mankind. The pen is studded with over 161 sparkling color diamonds that will (forgive me) be sure to bring you endless happiness. Of course, you could just sell them off one by one when you get strapped for cash.

Now to address the big elephant in the room: how much is this pen worth? Well, just a few thousand short of a million, since it’s priced at $995,510. Did your jaw drop like mine did?

The customized iPod nano comes from ZShock and it appears to be based on the $80 LunaTik. But the ZShock’s case is made from white gold and then inlayed with lots of pave-set diamonds on the face and the watch clasp for added bling.

You would have to be nuts to drop the $18,000 (USD) the watch band costs, so the product name is fitting. It takes about 3-4 weeks for the company to make the watchband. You can also get the case made from other metals and get different color diamonds as well. I could see Bill Gates rocking this watch – if only he used Apple products.

The planet could have entire mountains made from diamonds. The planet was discovered using the NASA Spitzer Space Telescope. According to Dr. Marek Kukula of London’s Royal Greenwich Observatory, “The planet is thousands of times fainter than the star it orbits. So the scientists have to perform an amazing feat of precision measurement to extract anything at all. The fact that they are able to tell us something about the composition of this particular planet is quite literally out of this world.”

The planet is known as Wasp 12b and the thought is that water ice may not have been abundant when the planet formed, leading to high concentrations of carbon. We may never know for sure since the planet is so far away – unless we find a Stargate.

The Apple logo on the back of this sinful monster is made of 22 carat solid gold, and has 25.5 carats worth of diamonds. The whole rear cover is also made from 22-carat gold, and it alone weighs a whopping 1.2 kilograms (2.6 lbs).

As usual, the golden iPad can be ordered from Stuart Hughes’ website. Only ten units will be made, each priced at £129,995 (approx. $188,000 USD). I know of at least one playa who’d like to rock this on his neck.

The World’s Most Expensive Computer Mouse – yes, that’s actually the gadget’s name – is made by Pat Says Now. It’s set with 59 brilliant cut diamonds, with three different casts available –  white, yellow or red 18 carat gold.

You can – but you shouldn’t – order The World’s Most Expensive Mouse at Fabstuff for $26,730 (USD).

The PrestigeHD Supreme Rose is a 55″ HDTV, with a base and outer frame made of 28 kilograms of solid 18ct rose gold. The outer frame is “adorned with 72 brilliant round cut 1ct IF Flawless diamonds” and a mix of sunstone & amethyst, while the inner frame is made of hand sewn Alligator skin. Stuart Hughes will only make three of these; any more and the world will run out of gold and diamonds, and the lord almighty will come and smite his ass. $2.27 M a bit too expensive for you? Then you might want to settle for the budget edition PrestigeHD Supreme, which only has 19 kilograms of gold and 48 diamonds, and thus is much more affordable at £1,000,000 ($1.5 M USD).

Then again it’s from the same dude who made a gold-plated fat PS3, so I guess gadgets are his thing. Are you the servant of an insanely rich gadget freak? Tell him about this post, and direct him to Stuart Hughes’ website.

The ostentatious iPod costs £59,995 (approx. $94, 400 USD), but who cares right? It’s made out of gold! Run to your master for there are only 10 of these! The servants of his friends read our site too you know.

The 2Oct2031 watch was created by the Chinese designer Tao Ma, and from the minute you set your eyes on it, you try and make sense of what your eyes are seeing.

Tao Ma was trying to come up with a futuristic luxury watch – a watch could display different information on each of its faceted displays. That’s kind of cool, but you’d need a magnifying glass to see them all, wouldn’t you?

Still, it’s an interesting concept that showcases some neat design ideas. The 2Oct2031 watch isn’t yet available, but it might be sometime between now and October 2, 2031.

Each stone is set on a custom-made claw and can be screwed on and off the band, so even though the set is very pricey, you’re practically getting three unique rings in one. Your wives wife will freakin’ love you if you get them this.

Props to the product page writers for their playful but accurate take on how the ring will be used: “So now, she chooses which stone to wear – one for work and one for stares.  One for evenings and one for mournings [sic]. One for what ever she cares.”

Prospective buyers will be glad to know that the diamonds come from legitimate sources and are conflict-free. Unfortunately they’re really expensive. Contact Sruli Recht via e-mail with the subject “r¿ng enquiry” and be prepared to pay €3530 (approx. $5,060 USD) to order. And here I was thinking that the money saved from not having to polish and cut the diamonds would lower the cost of the thing.

Called the “iPhone 3G King’s Button”, each of these mind-blowing creations is adorned with 18-carat yellow gold, white gold and rose gold. I didn’t even know there was a rose gold. Then it gets insane: lining the phone’s frame are 138 “brilliant cut” diamonds. Then it goes up to 11: The King’s Button’s Home button is topped with a 6.6 carat diamond.

The price by the way doesn’t take into account the 20% VAT.

Folks, diamonds are just compressed carbon. What the hell. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if all the farmers in the world decided to jack up the price of their products to diamond-like prices. But that’s just me.

The watch is a collaboration between high-design and art house Gourmet and the jeweler Christian Tse. It sports a white leather band and a whole mess o’ white diamonds.

While I don’t have the official specs, I will be happy to do some rough estimations for you, so here goes: The watch has about a bazillion diamonds and costs infinity dollars. Hope that helps.

The creator of this mod, Amosu, is known for loading up mobile phones with precious gems and metals. The fancy schmancy iPhone is loaded with 420 diamonds (5.65 carats), and can be set in 18-karat white or yellow gold (where’s my platinum?)

Expect the phone to set you back over $40,000, so you’ll need to decide whether to get this or that new Lexus. Heck, why not do both?

If $40k is too rich for your blood, you can always pick up one of their Cubic Zirconia covered Motorola V3i phones for about $1400. Such a deal!

The appropriately named Big Bang 44mm All Black Carat watch may have traditional analog dials, but its design is anything but conservative. Featuring an all black face with all black dials, it’s just too cool for words.

The self-winding chronograph is made using incredibly high-end parts, including a ceramic case made from the same materials used in Formula 1 race cars. A precision Swiss movement made from 252 individual components means you’ll never drop a second of time.

Oh yeah, you might not notice them at first, but those little trapezoids gracing the watch’s 18-carat white gold bezel are actually 48 individual black diamonds, totaling 2.8 carats in weight. With a street price of around $47,000, it’s out of reach for us mere mortals. For the rest of us, we’ll just look and drool.
