Italian luxury jeweler Buccellati just revealed what might be the priciest phone accessories ever made. At this year’s Baselworld, the brand showed off one-of-a-kind iPhone 5s and iPad mini cases from its new Unica collection, designed by Lucrezia Buccellati. Each piece is handcrafted using the Rigato technique, an intricate engraving method that gives the gold a soft, fabric-like finish. The designs draw inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci’s solar illustrations, which feels fitting for objects this lavish. The iPhone 5s case will set you back 150,000 euros, roughly $206,000. The iPad mini cover costs even more at 350,000 euros, or about $480,000.
Would you ever spend that much to protect your phone? More importantly, who is actually buying these? Let us know in the comments.
