You’d think that playing a musical instrument, such as an electric guitar, should be all about the music; but sometimes it’s more than that. The Eden of Coronet is more than just a simple electric guitar, it’s a sizzling piece of art decorated with more than 400 carat diamonds sitting on an 18k white gold body with amazing little details.
Valued at a staggering $2 million, this guitar weighs in at 1.6 kg and took 700 days to finish, with 62 skilled artisans working their magic on this record-breaking design by Mark Lui. The Guinness World Records verified and confirmed the guitar’s astonishing value, and it couldn’t have been easy.
The guitar was created by Dubai-based Lifestyle Fine Jewelry in collaboration with its parent company, Aaron Shum – a pioneer in jewellery in Hong Kong.
The purpose of such an interesting endeavor was to raise awareness for the jewel guru’s signature brand, Coronet. The guitar was premiered at the prestigious Baselworld 2015 and it boasts flowers and nature-inspired detailing, with the diamonds being sponsored by Hong Kong firm Chow Tai Fook.
Furthermore, in the last weeks the guitar also traveled around China, to be shown off to the Chinese rich folks. And although it’s shiny, ice-cold and worth millions of dollars, the sparkling guitar is still playable. But, with that price tag, who would dare to touch it? I don’t even dare to look at it!
