Is there such a thing as a gold iphone?

I've heard of the blinged out diamond iphones and was wondering whether there was such a thing as a gold encased iphone? How much would a gold iphone cost?

There is such a thing as a gold iphone. Gold iphones were invented as a way of dressing up your iphone with a little bling and glam. The casing is made up of 24 karat yellow gold, embellished with white gold and rose gold. The gold iphone can be bought with or without diamond and other precious gemstone additions. The gold iphones are priced at around $1,000-$2,000. The price can vary in direct correlation with the amount and the quality of gemstones set into the gold casing. For instance, well-renowned jewelry manufacturer Peter Aloisson, has designed a gold iphone, which is embedded with 138 round brilliant diamonds, totaling at over 11 carats. The iphone design (called the King Burton design) is estimated at over two million dollars. Other exceptional gold iphone designs include the Princess iphone, which is embedded with 138 princess cut diamonds, mounted into an 18 karat white gold casing, and the Case-Mate Diamond Case iphone, encrusted with 42 diamonds, with a total carat weight of 3.5. Gold iphones certainly aren't cheap but they are considerably more affordable than the diamond encrusted iphones. You can get customized gold iphones, or gold iphone casings, at online jewelry stores, gadgets stores, and even at online auctions such as eBay.
