LushBling: Tiffany Diamonds Phone Sold Out in Japan
Tiffany & Co designed a range of limited edition diamond-decorated phones for the Japan region with price tags of 13 million yen (around £83,000 or $123,000 USD). The phones had 537 diamonds on each and were worth 18.34-carats. Platinum panel underneath ensured that not one detail was lost in its luxurious ingenuity.
The phones sold out in the first three days of going on sale – though only ten editions were made.
The 823SH Tiffany phone was a collaboration between Tiffany & Co and Sharp, and sold through Japanese mobile phone company Softbank.
“The launch was planned before the financial crisis took hold. We did not know or expect that there would by such a crisis so of course we are very pleased that they have all sold,” said a Softbank spokesman.
Japan is home to the world’s largest mobile phone market, with more than 50 million phones sold each year in the country.
Personally, as a girl, I definitely have to say that this Tiffany model beats the Prada phone in terms of aesthetic appeal, hands down. Diamonds really are a girl’s best friend.

Seriously - if you are spending 100K+ on a cell phone, you have too much money and need to donate to the poor (ME). It’s gorgeous but Tiffany diamonds on my phone would not work well, I drop it too many time.

You’re not alone Em, I could never afford 100K for a phone. It is beautiful though.
