Claiming to bear a pricey tag of £25,000, the Cross comes donned in 18-karat gold and features three red gemstones together.

Pictured above is an ornamented bouquet exhibited at Takashimaya Department Store in Osaka. The bouquet is studded with jewelry i.e. 11.5-carat yellow diamond ring, 7 yellow gold diamond brooches and 46 Mexican opal brooches layered with silver leaves, stalks and base. The cost of the bouquet is calculated at $1.5 million. This is surely going to change the way ceremonies are conducted now. Also, it would be seen as an opportunity by filthy-rich to flaunt their assets.
