Saint Valentine’s Day: gold gifts
On Valentine’s Day, we tell about the most expensive and unusual gifts received on this wonderful holiday.
1. Big Mac gold ring
In preparation for one of the Valentine’s Days, the McDonald’s fast food chain was ahead of everyone else. A week before the holiday, the fast food giant managed to surprise the world with a very impressive (albeit inedible) novelty. McDonald’s released the main symbol of marital bonds — Big Mac gold ring. The item made of 18-karat yellow gold was called Bling Mac.
Designer Nadine Ghosn took a very unconventional approach to the matter. The “filling” of the jewelry burger consisted of rubies, orange sapphires and diamonds.
The cost of the jewelry is estimated at 12 and a half thousand dollars.
2. The royal Gold State Coach
A truly royal gift — a 3-ton golden carriage was presented to Queen Elizabeth II, marking her anniversary of accession to the throne.
It was timed to coincide with Valentine’s Day, when the British monarch received a gift fit for a queen: the Gold State Coach inlaid with precious stones and adorned with 24 diamonds and 130 sapphires.
The carriage is purposed to be used for festive celebrations and ceremonial trips of the queen or the royal family.
The price of the Gold State Coach is estimated at 2 million dollars.
3. Valentine card made of gold
Opera diva Maria Callas not only conquered the public with her voice, but also received unusual gifts from influential fans. Thus, one day Maria became the owner of the most expensive Valentine card in the world. The gift was made of gold by order of a very noble admirer — Greek billionaire Aristotle Onassis.
The cost of the gold Valentine was approximately 300 thousand dollars.
4. Gold toothbrush
The love of fans is certainly the best motivation for creativity. However, not every musician can boast of truly expensive gifts from fans. Flowers and plush toys are nothing compared to what the vocalist of the famous British rock band The Rolling Stones Mick Jagger was given by his devoted fans. The fans pleased the musician with a gold toothbrush!
The cost of the product made of 18-karat gold is 4 thousand dollars.
Gold is the best gift choice for those who want to confess their feelings. Give joy to your loved ones!
