If it’s love you are in, the economy is no excuse. Austrian jeweller Peter Aloisson has crafted the “Kings Button,” a diamond-encrusted iPhone whose name refers to the 6.6-carat diamond planted on top of the handset’s Home button.

There are a few apps, quirks and possible scams out there that encourage those with too much money to blow it on literally nothing. One example is the “I Am Rich” app, which for $999.99 you can get a glowing stone to appear on your screen. That is all it does. (Apparently it does bring good fortune, luck and health. For a grand, I’d rather buy shoes, three outfits, go to a movie and fill the car with fuel, that makes me feel lucky!)

As for the diamond phone, the case is made out of solid 18-carat yellow, white and rose gold. Aloisson finished it off by outlining the case with a white gold line encrusted with 138 diamonds of “the best quality.” The estimated value: $2,517,345. No word on if there will be a matching set of ear rings. This iPhone is certainly something. I can only hear my dad saying “the smaller and heavier something is, the more expensive”. By that thought, this should weigh more than my car full of fuel. Is it worth mentioning my birth stone is diamonds?
