This small purse, covered in more diamonds than a really nasty pier has barnacles and currently the Guinness World Record holder for most valuable handbag, is up for sale. To whom should I provide my mailing address?
The Guardian alerts me to the existence of the bauble that really should find its way to my closet, thanks. Itās 18-karat gold, not that you can see it for the 4,500-plus diamonds: āThe rocks are mostly colourless but 105 yellow and 56 pink diamonds have also been incorporated into the design.ā Also:
The intricate diamond work took artisans more than 8,800 hours to create, according to Christieās, which is handling the private sale.
To drum up interest in what it described as a ābejewelled masterpieceā, the auction house is showing the piece to potential buyers in Hong Kong before embarking on a tour that will visit Geneva and London next month.
So itās conveniently working its way to me, a person who should treat herself. Great! Does Christieās take Venmo?
