Get ready for Apple iPad covered in gold and diamonds


London: Stuart Hughes, a 39-year-old luxury goods designer, has created a gold Apple iPad with diamonds encrusted in its logo. He also has covered a range of gadgets such as phones and TVs, as well as his 'masterpiece' iPad covered in 22 carrat gold and 53 individual diamonds, reports the Telegraph. He has also designed luxury customised phones like diamond-encrusted Blackberrys, as well as the ultimate games console - a gold - plated Nintendo Wii 'Supreme' costing 300,000 pounds. "The process works for objects and gadgets people can relate to, and when we're finished with the products they can often look bizarre and outrageous. We have gone for the higher end of the gadget end market. When someone spends 80,000 pounds on an expensive car, they don't want to drive it home and find their next door neighbour has got the same one.It's all about having something different, and that's what we provide," he said. He started creating the gadgets with Katherine, his wife who makes the luxurious gizmos by casting moulds in the shapes of the gadgets, before pouring in gold to complete the process. The luxury 2.1kg iPad, could cost about 130,000 pounds, which is substantially more expensive than the regular 600 pound model. He also offers a buget, gold-plated iPad for a more cost-friendly 2,000 pounds.
