Rhinestone studded cellphones; from Elvis to Marilyn
Heard of Krystali - from London? Chances are you must have if you are one of those super rich people. Krystali makes or rather personalises cell phones by hand. Home of the most fabulous mobile phones in the world; a typical Krystali phone is covered in over 3000 Swarovski rhinestones, each one placed by hand over a period of two days.
If you wish to own a Krystali then you need to place an order in advance. They say that due to the time taken to make one, they can only make 400-500 pieces a year which get sold in advance. The latest update is that the company has opened a branch in New York city as well.
Obviously the company draws inspiration from the diamond studded Vertu. However as is the case, we have no idea about the pricing of Krystali in comparison with Vertu. Krystali says it is the best since un-like others; its rhinestones are all the same size and laid out in uniform rows. There are also no unsightly gaps and no visible silver phone casing. This is because each phone is airbrushed and coloured to match the rhinestones that will be placed on it. If the phone has a design, this design is hand painted on the phone casing first. Looking at the images, we can only agree that this is a job well done.
