$96,000 Champagne Flute

Diamonds in Glass

— January 4, 2008 — Art & Design
"So far we know, this is the most expensive champagne glass in the world."

The emotion attached with diamonds is unmistakable, so why not add diamonds to your most elegant table decorations?

Diamonds in glass is the creation of Natascha Marx and glass artist Tobias Berger. The handcrafted stemware, caviar dishes, napkin rings, and ashtrays can provide the emotional piece de' resistance to the most elegant table.

Their latest addition is the handmade, "Imperial" Champagne glass which has 8.1 carat diamonds and is plated with 180 grams or 6.34 oz of gold. Each glass, which they claim is the world's most expensive, is selling for 65,000 Euros or about $96,109.

The Saxophone was created especially for the Thailand Millionaire Expo in honor of King Bhumipol. The 10 diamond-coated saxophone was intended for Princess Pa's charity foundation. The fine, black, polished wood is plated with 18 carat gold and 10 diamonds. The 40,000 Euro sax also bears the royal logo.
