The iPad 2 Becomes An $8 Million Masterpiece

The iPad 2 Becomes An $8 Million Masterpiece

November 4, 2011
Do you know someone who is hard to please? Here’s an idea that is sure to tease. Check out this amazing Pad 2, and see if it’s possibly meant for you. Made by designer Stuart Hughes, this electronic device is sure to amuse. Though you’ll want to beware, you better have some money to spare. Enough with the poetry, because this iPad means business and it seriously has some features you will not see anywhere else. What is it that makes this iPad 2 so unique? For starters, the back is made of 24 karat gold and the Apple logo has been encrusted with 52 diamonds. The front of the iPad is not plain black or white either. Instead, it is made of a 75-million-year-old ammolite rock and shavings from a 65-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex hipbone. This gives the front of the iPad a unique marbleized pattern, which is sure to stand out.

The final touches are on the home button, which contains a flawless 8.5 carat diamond that is inlaid in platinum and surrounded by 12 outer flawless diamonds. The total specs on this iPad are: 16.5 carats of diamonds and an 8.5 carat single diamond, 57 grams of T. rex bone, 750 grams of ammolite stone and 2,000 grams of solid 24 karat gold. This special edition is named the iPad 2 Gold History Edition, and only two of these devices have been made. You can purchase one right on the Stuart Hughes website. So what is the price? $8,000,000! If you like this idea, but would like a little less expensive version, Stuart Hughes has created one that has been made with crystals instead of diamonds. You will not have the ammolite rock and T. rex bone on the front either. However, this iPad 2 will only set you back about $4,800.
