You like diamonds set into everyday objects or wearable art? How about a diamond-studded toilet bowl?
Coronet Jewelry, the diamond jewellery manufacturing division of Aaron Shum Jewelry of Hong Kong, has introduced a toilet bowl set with 40,815 diamonds totalling 334.68 carats and valued at $1.28 million.
It was inducted into the Guinness World Records at a ceremony in Dubai’s Amazing Museum & Art Gallery last week.
The toilet bowl was awarded a certificate of authenticity by a representative of Guinness World Records at the event, and it represents Coronet’s tenth Guinness World Record.
Previous milestones include an award for the world’s most valuable guitar ($2 million); an 18k gold Gibson guitar set with 400 carats of diamonds, and most diamonds on a handbag for a Coca-Cola-inspired handbag set with nearly
10,000 diamonds weighing a total of 120 carats – 8,543 black diamonds and 1,345 colourless diamonds.
Coronet also earned a place in the world record book for the most diamonds set on a mobile phone case – 6,576 diamonds totaling 16.95 carats – and for the most diamonds set on a lipstick case (2,216 diamonds totalling 18.6
carats).
The toilet bowl is inspired by Dubai’s rich culture, with gold as a symbol of wealth, strength and success. Aaron Shum, President of Coronet and The Amazing Gallery, and Tareq, CEO of Korooti, unveiled the bowl at the event.
The Amazing Museum & Gallery is located at Al Garhoud, Dubai, UAE. With a total area of about 10,000 sq ft, the museum houses 10 Guinness World Records creations made by diamonds.
