We all have seen a lot of things crafted in gold like golden Mount Fuji, gold Stitch and Angel and the golden rabbit. This time of the year Ginza Tanaka is here to celebrate the holiday season in full mood with the world’s most expensive Christmas tree. It is valued at $11 million and is tagged as London’s most expensive Christmas tree comes decked with 24 kt gold Baccarat bottles filled with Cognac. On the other hand the most expensive Christmas tree is travelling expansively.
Ginza Tanaka has unveiled a shimmering 2.4 meters tall Golden Christmas Tree cast out of 12 kilograms of pure gold that works out to $1.95 million. At that value, it just crossed the $1.8 million Christmas tree that stands at 40 centimeters only but features about 100 carats of diamonds.
The latest in the kitty of Golden Christmas Trees needed the able hands of 15 craftsmen, and took four and a half months to complete, will be on display throughout the holiday season.
Gold Beer Mug, the centre of attention at Ginza Tanaka’s latest collection
The mug, made of 850 grams (30 ounces) of gold, was showcased at Ginza Tanaka’s latest collection entitled “Summer Cool”, which includes items that many Japanese believe help relieve the heat of summer’s muggy days. The $50,000 gold beer mug has astounded one and all.
Ginza Tanaka says drinking beer in a goblet that costs as much as a luxury car is the ultimate cool experience. Other objects on display included golden sake and wine glasses “” at $30 a gram “” as well as a golden fan that provides a very pricey breeze. Naoto Mizuki, general manager of Ginza Tanaka’s marketing department, said the price of the items changes on a daily basis, along with the price of gold.
Mobile Suit Gundam made of platinum and diamond for all Gundam freaks
This platinum Gundam is 12.5-cm tall and weighs 1.4-kg. It was brought into existence by Hajime Katoki, who is a mechanical designer and also is a great illustrator recognized for working in a variety of animations and games. This platinum Gundam was possible only after two long years of tiring efforts and process of production. The prime aim of creating this platinum Gundam is to imbibe the elements of platinum with the persistent image of the Gundam. Ginza Tanaka has the impression that this will add to the value of platinum while Bandai wants to propagate the popularity of the Gundam’s name as one of the popular animation show telecasted on Japanese TV. The BASELWORLD 2007 will be represented by this platinum Gundam at a watch and jewelry show.
