A small solid gold implement reckoned as the combination of toothpick and earwax spoon was identified while looking for a marooned Spanish galleon Santa Margarita that sank in a 1622 hurricane. Blue Water Ventures officials disclosed that divers discovered this 385-year-old toothpick after diving in 22 feet below the surface and 40 miles west of Key West. It is expected to be valued at more than $100,000.
Archaeologists believe this 3-inch-wide; 17th-century grooming tool was almost certainly worn on a gold chain. Other recovered products include ceramic pieces, spikes, ships’ fittings, rigging elements and two skeleton keys.

Colors indicate one’s mood and add to this the touch of bling to witness a beguiling upshot. The case in point is well exemplified by the latest offering of Swarovski-Crystal carpeting and 24k gold cork mosaic at DOMOTEX Middle East 2008 in the ‘Designers Corner.’ This seems to be the come-back of reigning days of Moghuls and Emperors, who can’t compromise but to have a filthy-rich lifestyle. Installing this gold-bathed flooring would enlighten your sense and bring warmth to your abode. I strongly believe that this opulent offering is not everyone’s cake as would tune well with the manors feeding guests with gold or silver spoon. Feel free to give your wild imagination a shape that maintains the durability of this flooring. It would surely be a blessing for your beloved’s feet.

Till date, I have played countless distinctively designed elite speakers at EliteChoice, but call it my hard luck or absence of revolutionary CD players in the markets that I hardly have any of them here. But now the unveiling of CD-T300 Pro CD player resembling an UFO by a China-based firm called Shanling has opened an entry gate for me. The firm is an established name in the production of CD players with inimitable appeal and personality. The CD-T300 Pro features 4 amplification valves, gold-layered tube legs, and 2 remote controls and not to ignore the way it glares at you.
Designed using aluminum alloy, the CD player weighs 24 pounds and radiates a blue glow for that blissful feel when someone fingers it.

It’s being quite some time that Belvedere vodka is in news for its promotional strategies, thereby strengthening brand’s image. The latest tool it has picked is the Jagger Dagger, a sword developed by jewelry designer Jade Jagger, daughter of Rolling Stone Mick Jagger and model Bianca Jagger. The sword dipped in 18K-white gold comes encrusted with 12-carats of brilliant-cut diamonds, 42 pastel sapphires, and a vital blue lapis lazuli square. The blade is formed using mirror-polished carbon steel with an impression of the similar tree twigs that adorn the Belvedere bottle.

The “Jagger Dagger” is being considered for tableside ice-picking service with the sword provided by servers at distinct nightspots i.e. 1OAK in New York, Crystal in London and VIP in Paris. Lately, Jade unveiled this revolutionary creation by throwing a gala party in the company of around 90 plus guests. The dagger is retailed at $250,000.
If you can’t afford to buy this luxury then would suggest you to go for other models that have white topaz and aquamarine instead of diamonds and sapphires. This one would cost you only $10,000.
