Hallmark Jewelers of Titchfield, Hampshire in the U.K. has designed an unbelievable 18-Carat white gold sphere - set with diamonds - called the ‘Christmas Tree Bauble’.
The unique gem is valued at $136,700. It boasts a hand pave set with 1,578 diamonds, three 1-Carat diamonds, and 188 rubies.
The ‘Christmas Tree Bauble’ took nearly an entire year to craft. It was unveiled at a VIP gala evening held at Hallmark Jewelers’ Titchfield village shop. The Bauble is presented in a handmade wooden box and comes with a stand.
Mark Hussey - the creator of the exotic ornament and Hallmark partner – said the Bauble celebrates the second decoration the company has created specifically for Christmas. He describes it as the most valuable and unique of the two items.
“As the name ‘Faberge’ has become synonymous with Easter Eggs, I hope the name of Hallmark Jewelers will be forever linked to Christmas,” he expressed. He added that if the jewel doesn’t sell, he will be pleased to place it on his own Christmas tree.
