Oh Swarovski. You multiply faster than Gremlins after midnight. This time on a guitar! But not just any guitar, a Gibson Bulls Eye. And not just any Gibson Bulls Eye, but a Zakk Wylde branded edition. Got all that?
To be fair, it’s not all Swarovski. There be gold gems on that thar guitar as well. Commissioned by an anonymous Monaco-based British celebrity, this limited edition Gibson guitar is encrusted with 4,000 individual Swarovski crystals - each measuring exactly 4mm in diameter and covered in 24-carat gold. Kim Webber and Gold2u worked in tandem to design this beast. The strings are also 24 carat gold and imported from Germany. And, that’s not all. 24 carat gold frets! Wow. I’m going to stop now before I also turn into gold. Is this guitar King Midas? Spend $24,200 and find out.

File this in the “Well, at least it’s not Swarovski” category: The trend to bling up everything in the universe continue. This one makes a bit more sense, however. An Italian company has made a classy 40″ HDTV and encrusted it with 155 rubies. You read that right. 155 of the precious red suckers. We know it looks beautiful, but once question remains, how is watching LOST on it?
Look at this awesome monstrosity! This looks more like the antlers of a Norse demi-God than a pair of speakers, however, speakers they are. Fabio Ognibeni and his company Opera Sonore must have set out to make the weirdest looking speakers of all time because that’s what they are. It’s not just weird though. There is some cool ideas behind these wacky and wild speakers. They reproduce the effect of Stradivarius vibrations, using the tree of the Fiemme Valley in Italy to do so. The tree has straight, long and parallel fibers that makes the sound travel superbly. How much does it cost to have these conversation pieces inside of your home? $263,000, but, come on. Demi-God antlers.
