Couture accessory company Brikk has begun taking pre-orders for its bespoke, diamond-encrusted Lux iPhone 7.
The new smartphone, showcased last night at an Apple keynote event in California, is disassembled and then hand-polished before being plated with layers of precious metal. You can choose between yellow gold, pink gold, or platinum, and have the device encrusted with small or large diamonds should you wish to splash out.
