Gilt Trip: Gold Trimmed iPhone

Gilt Trip: Gold Trimmed iPhone

Topping at least one luxe list of trendy items for Christmas are these customized iPhones from Continental Mobile.

The iPhone rimmed in 24k gold costs about $1,800 (£1,199), if that doesn’t wind you up there are ruby and diamond versions, about $4,600 (£3,099) and other serious stones like sapphires and emeralds. iPod Touch versions are also available.

If you decide to put this much sparkle under your tree, make it fast. Each item is “hand crafted in England” and takes seven to 10 days for delivery.

    Don’t forget the cost of invalidating your warranty.

    Wow. That is nothing short of awesome. A gold plated iPhone would be the only reason I went with a phone that isn’t prepaid. Sadly, I don’t think I’ll ever get my hands on this iphone.
