Golf is the game of the rich and famous and fittingly, the Diamond-Studded Golf Ball fits in nicely with that demographic. This nifty luxury item was designed by Bernard Maquin, the creator of the $500,000 diamond-studded chess set.
Implications - The product comes in a beautiful case for that extra touch of luxury. The blinging golf ball is encrusted with 11 carats of black and white diamonds and manufactured in 18-carat gold. The tee itself doesn't look too bad, considering that it also has a bit of bling to it to complement the ball.
Bernard Maquin designed this exclusively for the Charles Hollander collection. It'd make a nifty gift for your retired dad or granddad -- if you can afford it, that is.
