As usual, Trend Hunters are spotting a micro-trend: diamonds in skulls. This piece was done by Walter Robinson and has the Superman logo, hence its name, Cephalogo.
As we know Superman could only be killed by Kryptonite, so this piece is made of plastic, metal and "found" material.
Another skull that was covered with diamonds sold for $100 million recently.
