Magnificent or monster?
The jeweller who gave the world the £5m diamond-encrusted iPhone has been at it again, this time giving Apple's handset a prehistoric pimping with a T-Rex tooth and meteor rocks.
Dubbed the ‘History Edition' Brit jeweller Stuart Hughes has added a real Tyrannosaurus Rex tooth to the fierce iPhone, along with his signature diamond encrusted treatment, Fox News reports.
Hughes has reportedly swapped the plain glass back of the iPhone 4 handset for splinters of 56 million year-old T-Rex tooth set in polished meteoric stone and toped it off with a platinum Apple logo and bezel of 8.5ct flawless diamonds.
However, despite its monster heritage, the History phone is a comparable snip at £40k to its bling-tastic predecessor and with only 10 made, they are sure to have palaeontologists digging deep in their pockets.
Dubbed the ‘ultimate dog and bone' according to NewsLite, Hughes said: "I have worked before with dinosaur in the past but I wanted to go fierce on this one hence we sort a tooth, doesn't come more fierce than that. We splintered and shaved the tooth into the pre polished meteoric stone both of which were sort from Arizona in the US."
