Israeli $1.5M Gold & Diamond Face-Mask Is The Most
Expensive In The World by Macsjebs (m): 11:28pm On Aug 10
An Israeli jewelry company is working on what it says will be
the world's most expensive coronavirus mask, a gold,
diamond-encrusted face covering with a price tag of $1.5
million.
The 18-karat white gold mask will be decorated with 3,600
white and black diamonds and fitted with top-rated N99
filters at the request of the buyer, said designer Isaac Levy.
Levy, owner of the Yvel company, said the buyer had two
other demands: that it be completed by the end of the year,
and that it would be the priciest in the world. That last
condition, he said, "was the easiest to fulfill."
He declined to identify the buyer, but said he was a Chinese
businessman living in the United States.
The glitzed-up face mask may lend some pizzazz to the
protective gear now mandatory in public spaces in many
countries. But at 270 grams (over half a pound) - nearly
100 times that of a typical surgical mask - it is not likely to
be a practical accessory to wear.
In an interview at his factory near Jerusalem, Levy showed
off several pieces of the mask, covered in diamonds. One
gold plate had a hole for the filter.
"Money maybe doesn't buy everything, but if it can buy a
very expensive COVID-19 mask and the guy wants to wear it
and walk around and get the attention, he should be happy
with that," Levy said.
Such an ostentatious mask might also rub some the wrong
way at a time when millions of people around the world are
out of work or suffering economically. Levy said that while
he would not wear it himself, he was thankful for the
opportunity.
"I am happy that this mask gave us enough work for our
employees to be able to provide their jobs in very
challenging times like these times right now," he said.
