Jeweler Dave Bling created this divine diamond soccer ball, which was sold for $250,000. The beautiful diamond soccer ball pays tribute to an actual ball by featuring both black and white diamonds. The ball is also the exact same size as a real soccer ball, which aids in the authentication of this work of art.
The sport ball contains a total of 1,250 carats and 72,000 diamonds that allow it to glitter and shimmer at every angle. This quarter of a million dollar ball was purchased by Real Madrid soccer star Karim Benzema.
While this piece of decor will not be found in the common household, it will suit Karim Benzema's house while paying tribute to his sporting career.
