Other than the limited edition $10K Mechanical Alligator Belt, Dunhill’s Christmas gifts collection has one more offering that would appeal to the style conscious geeks : the Pave Black Diamond USB key is a perfect example of combination of decadent luxury and quotidian functionality.
Boasting an impressive storage of 8GB, this piece of equipment will make that perfect first and lasting impression in any presentation.
With a base of oxidised sterling silver and embellished with 272 black diamonds – each 3 carat – it has discreet Alfred Dunhill branding on the reverse and obvious Dunhill luxury throughout.

Memory specialist Super Talent has announced a limited edition 18-carat gold version of its diminutive Pico-C Drive. The swank 8GB USB device features 200X (30MB/sec) data transferspeeds, is water resistant and comes with a matching gold keychain and black velvet jewelry box.
The plug-and-play drive also includes FIPS certified AES-256 Encryption software, a serialized Certificate of Authenticity and, with executive Christmas gifts clearly in mind, it can be laser etched with text or a logo on the casing.
This rare collector’s item is available only on a preorder basis Via the Super Talent site for a limited time, with three to four weeks lead time. At $599 it’s one of the most expensive 8GB USB drives you’ll find, but that’s the price you pay for an enclosure of 75 percent gold.

Swissbit - a Flash memory company - and Victorinox - the maker of Swiss Army knives - have teamed up and joined forces with Bonfort- the popular penknife company – to create their Prestige line of USB drives.
The exquisite, limited edition executive present memory sticks come in white or yellow gold and are finished with over 600 brilliant-cut diamonds and finished to the highest level of quality. The USB key can be switched out if you decide to upgrade to a higher capacity drive.
Swissbit’s Prestige Swiss Army USB keys start at around €980 ($1,450), which we imagine will be for a silver version. Expect that price to climb considerably for the gold units and the diamond-encrusted ones.
Bonfort also offers an engraving service, in case you want your Prestige to be just that bit more exclusive ^_^
