Gresso – the Russian luxury phone maker noted for its use of gold and rare African Blackwood to make its phones – has announced two new additions to its Avantgarde collection.
We last featured Gresso when the Luna and Sol handsets were announced, but two new additions have now appeared.
The Black Diamonds collection has two handsets – the normal Black Diamonds (left) and the Royal Black Diamonds (right).
Both feature Windows Mobile 6, two-megapixel cameras, have sapphire crystal glass screens and titanium keys. Gold is used for the screws and some of the keys, with the case made from African Blackwood.
The whole of the Gresso Avantgarde Royal Black Diamonds’ keypad is made of gold with keys themselves encased in very rare black diamonds. As a result, only 50 are being made.
The other device, the Avangarde Black Diamonds, will have only (!) four black diamonds embedded in certain keys, with the rest simply made out of gold.
If you have to ask how much they’ll cost, you obviously can’t afford them. Oh, okay then. The standard Black Diamonds phone will sell for €30,000 (£21,000), while the Royal Black Diamonds is a snip at a mere €90,000 (£64,000). Don’t expect to see them turning up at a Carphone Warehouse near you anytime soon.
