Diamond-Encrusted Calling Cards

The Black Astrum Signature Self-Promotions are a Gem

— January 12, 2012 — Luxury
If you have a job interview coming up and you want to make a lasting impression, get some Black Astrum business cards, which are encrusted with diamonds. Each set of cards can have up to 30 carats of the highest quality diamonds, which will dazzle anyone who sees them. To make them even more luxurious and exclusive, they are not for sale!

The only way to get a Black Astrum business card is by invitation from the company. So even if one is a billionaire rolling around in piles of cash, they might not even qualify for these classy cards. The funny thing is that if one is lucky enough to get an invitation and can afford the diamond cards, they’re probably not the kind of person who is looking for a job anyway.
