Is it a cell phone, or is a fabulous piece of diamond jewelry? As if the iPhone wasn’t a desirable enough item, causing fans to queue up every time a new model is launched, Liverpool luxury retailer Stuart Huges is now selling a limited-edition diamond-studded iPhone 4.0.

 
The 50 phones in the iPhone 4 Diamond Edition glitter not only with the halo associated with Apple products, but with 6.5 carats of individually-set diamonds. The phone's case is solid platinum and the Apple logo is rendered in – what else –  diamonds. The phones retail for $20,000 each.
 
If users can tear their eyes off the diamond bling for long enough to consider the phone's specs, they might be interested to know that the iPhone in question is the 32GB model and leaves the factory unlocked - which means that the jet-setting phone fans cans use their iDiamonds anywhere in the world.
 
Just to sweeten the deal, the diamond-encrusted iPhone 4 comes with a handcrafted wallet of Ostrich foot.

 
The iPhone 4 Diamond Edition is truly a paradigm of fine diamond jewelry design meeting technology. Although one does wonder what will happen when it's time to upgrade to a new model phone. Will jewelers or diamond dealers offer trade-ins?

Valentine's Day is nearing and like every year we need to find a gift for our significant others. Every year we face the same question – what can we buy? How can we be innovative? Yes, there are the familiar, classical things that we recycle every few years, and there are all those cute, creative gifts – it all depends on our mood and the level or creativeness.

But a “classic” gift doesn't have to be boring, especially when it is wrapped with love – which, after all, the most important thing. Of course, the shiner and more luxurious the gift, the more loved some of us feel...

This year I've decided to focus on the fairer sex and what we can buy to win their hearts and keep them from getting bored.

1. A diamond ring

A diamond ring is the perfect gift. An expensive, glimmering rock for her finger is my idea of the perfect gift.

2. A gold watch

A prestigious gold watch, especially one inlaid with precious stones or one from a high-end brand, will certifiably make your spouse feel loved.  

3. A silver ring

This requires some further consideration, since there are many designs out there. Try to choose something as spectacular as this 

4. A diamond-covered iPhone

What woman – or man – wouldn't love to get a new iPhone, and a diamond-covered one at that. I would even take the diamonds off and sell them and just keep the iPhon as-is, so it could be to anyone's taste.

5. A gold bracelet

Something delicate and not too bulky.

6. Lingerie

7. A gemstone necklace

8. Diamond earrings

9. A Prada handbag

10. A jewelry box

For those of us who are more creative, I'm including the top-five most bizarre Valentine's Day gifts. But keep in mind that jewelry, especially diamond jewelry, is a gift that lasts forever and one your girl is sure to remember forever.

11. A skydiving lesson

12. A star in her name

13. A romantic vacation

14. A couple's spa retreat

15. A pet snake
