Giving gifts is one of the most celebrated traditions of all time. For very obvious, practical, and joyful reasons, giving and receiving gifts goes beyond the gift itself. But how about those gifts that comes with a very high price tag?
Some say that it is the thought of giving gift that counts. But for some, that is not enough. They are the ones who are willing to impress their loved ones with lavish gifts – gifts that are high in monetary value, and become the center of attention in the world of high living. There is something that is especially awe inspiring in purchasing a gift that is well beyond most people’s budgets.
They are also the ones who have the resources and are knowledgeable in the world of precious stones – the most expensive gems of all time that are intended to get the attention not just of their loved ones, but of the world as well because of their class, elegance and value.
While jewelry is being given every day in every corner of the world as gifts, here are some lavish items that really standout.
1. With a price tag of $7.98 million, the Blue Diamond was auctioned at Sotheby s in Hong Kong.
2. Novo Yellow Diamond Ring is sold at Tiffany s for $1.35 million. The 25.27 carat diamond ring set in platinum and yellow gold has always been considered as one of the most expensive engagement ring.
3. The 40.63 carat Burma ruby cut in heart shape and comes with a 155 carat diamond necklace is the top jewelry in the British collection. With a price tag of $14 million, its monetary value is primarily due to its rarity.
4. The Chopard Blue Diamond ring is an oval shaped diamond ring, with triangular shaped diamond shoulders and a pave set diamond band in 18 carat white gold, priced at about $1.7 million per carat, again, because of its rarity, has a total price tag of $16.26 million.
5. Priced for no less than $3 million for this necklace – this elegant color combination of white and green stones, the Magnificent Diamond and Emerald Necklace from Chopard’s Haute Joaillerie collection has 191 carats worth of Columbia’s most beautiful emeralds, made beautiful with 16 carats of rose cut and drop shaped diamonds.
It has been said that diamonds are a girl’s best friend. So for a truly valuable gift, in every sense of the word, you can give jewelry as gifts to your loved ones. Jewelry does not lose its value over time. In fact, most jewelry has appreciated in value over time. And again, apart from the monetary value, jewelry has emotional and social value that also does not diminish over time.
While most gifts may not be as expensive, giving a gift that has significantly more financial value is deemed important not only because of its price, but because of the effort in coming up with such an amount to purchase the gift. The investment is not just on the monetary value, but also on the thought of giving something of great value.
