Vera Wang took a plain old BlackBerry flip phone and transformed it into a $10,000 masterpiece.
The infamous designer used Swarovski crystals to adorn the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 in the perfect amount of bling. Vera Wang has also designed similar phones for Elton John and Liza Minelli.
The jewel-encrusted mobile is currently being sold on eBay under an anonymous name; however, the seller is promising a authenticity with a money-back guarantee.
If you want this phone, you’d better act fast because the bidding ends at the end of the day.
