So is it something to wear or something to eat ? The chocolate version is truly a work of art though and it’s not all chocolate: the gold snake skeleton necklace is coated and decorated with chocolate which covers the chocolate gold skeleton, carrying a 20.08 carat fancy brown tinted yellow diamond!

If you want to live the experience of a truly unique chocolate, The Royal Collection from Cocoa Gourmet with gold, silver and diamonds will unfailingly captivate your senses and spirit.

A royal treat for eyes too before you pop them one by one to relish the texture of Swiss ganache in your mouth!

Priced at just $1,250, this collection contains 12 masterpieces in all : four 22 carat Gold chocolates, four pure silver chocolates and four sweet Diamond ones.

And no worries It’s actually totally safe when ingested (what a waste!) : both the European Union and United States authorize the use of the precious metals and the diamonds to decorate food products.

This is definitely a gastronomic experience for die-hard chocoholics ! (thanks Jack)
