We’ve seen a Ferrari edition version of the two-wheeled, self-balancing Segway. A new luxury model, the Titanium Diamond, is now available.
It has a multi-layered titanium finish and 1,001 Swarovski crystals.
The funky commute was launched just in time for Christmas for those looking for uber-expensive gifts. Only 25 of these special trinkets are offered worldwide.

Dubbed “American Icon”, the glittering MINI is the work of CrystalArt and it’ll be on display at the upcoming National Stationery Show, May 20-23, at NY City’s Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.
The car features over one-million Swarvoski crystals in 50 different shades of color to represent the 50 states. Each stone was meticulously placed by hand and took four people almost 6 months to complete.
The car depicts America’s most revered iconic scenery and symbols including The Statue of Liberty, Mount Rushmore, The White House, The American Flag and the Eagle, among others.

Sol Kerzner, the flamboyant hotelier, is to launch his new Dubai resort with a party so extravagant that organisers claim it will be seen from space.
The event, for the grand opening of the $1.5 billion Atlantis, The Palm, will have 2,000 VIP guests. Kylie Minogue will perform - her first concert in the Middle East - and the final bill for the four-day beachside celebrations is estimated to exceed $30 million, the London Telegraph reports.
The 1,500 room resort, located on the world’s largest manmade island, the Palm Jumeirah ( which has been built to resemble a palm tree when seen from above) features 16 restaurants including a branch of Nobu, and is partially bankrolled by the Dubai Royal Family.

Philips and Swarovski teamed up in order to complete the “Active Crystals” collection with a polished USB flash drive.
The gizmo can be protected by a user password in order to protect your data in case it gets stolen by one of your stalkers. And, here comes the 4 again. It comes in different flavors: Heart Ware, HeartBeat, Lock In and Lock Out.
Heart Ware and Heart Beat are worn as pendants and open to reveal a USB key with 1GB of memory – that’s space for around 1000 photos or 250 songs! The Lock In and Lock Out babies attach to a keychain and also flash 1GB innards
The Active Crystals collection is available on Swarovski website and each USB Memory Key retail for $180.

Bling H2O, was supposed to be the most expensive bottle of water until we found “Fillico Beverly Hills“, a premium line of spring water from a company name Vieluce in Osaka, being sold at $100 per bottle.
Fillico Beverley Hills contains water from a natural spring at the foot of Mount Rokko in Kobe, Japan. The spring is very famous for producing excellent water for Sake production and each bottle contains 750 ml of precious liquid. Due to the limited supply of spring water, only 5,000 bottles are sold each month.
Of course if paying $100 for a bottle of water is not enough, you can also buy the limited edition called “the King and Queen versions” which cost about 230$ each.
Their caps are more like crowns of royalty and are decorated with Swavorski crystals and carved with gold paint.
Bottled water isn’t just expensive but a major waste of resources as well… so, once it is empty, you can refill your precious bottle in your kitchen, for free ^_^
