 Every day brings the chance to see various things and we
never think of the value and how much the things cost. And we never know which
things may become fashionable and expensive in several years.
So, the most expensive jeans of Levi Strauss-501 model were
bought in March 1997 by the company Levi Strauss from the trader in antique
clothes for $25 000 USD. The jeans were manufactured between 1886 and 1902 and
nobody can just imagine the cost of it the company bought them for now. The
same happened to the most expensive lighter by Zippo launched in the beginning
of 1933. It is the first lighter the company manufactured and is highly
demanded by collectors, and therefore Ayra Pilosoff sold his lighter for $10000
USD on July 12, 1998.
The expensive and unique things are not those, however, that
were manufactured some time back in limited edition but also the precious
stones, since diamonds are believed to be the eternal values. So, today the most
expensive is Ligne 2 Champagne lighter by Dupont Company that costs $74 000
USD and which is made of white gold in 18k and incrusted in 468 diamonds. For
how long is it to be the record, though? The new thing may appear in the
following year with more incrusted diamonds and higher price. Though, it is difficult
to make the most expensive knife that took the master of cold arms Buster
Warenski and his wife Julia 20 years of hard work to create the «Star of East»
ordered by the Japanese businessman. The knife forged by hand from 18k gold was
decorated with 10 diamonds of 5 carat and 153 emeralds of 10 carat. This toy
yields to many arms in fighting capacities but in price it does dominate over
all the knives in the world costing $2,1 million dollars.
Games are sometimes expensive and cost fortune for many
people and casino is not the thing to talk about. The most expensive Rubik’s
Cube costs $1,5 million dollars. This toy was manufactured by the «Diamond Cutters
International» Company to the 15th Anniversary of the Rubik’s Cube from the
22,5k amethysts, 34k rubies, 34k emeralds and 18k gold. The same company made the

Yet, the most expensive set of Monopoly game is decorated with the precious
stones. The playing field is decorated with 23k gold, and the points are
defined with 42 diamonds. The game was made by the jeweler Sidney Mobell in
1988 to cost $2 million dollars.
The most expensive Barbie doll also cannot survive without
diamonds and the model made to the 40th anniversary of the doll manufacture
costs $ 82 870 USD thanks to the attire decorated with 160 diamonds trimmed
with 18k gold. The belt on the dress has the diamond clasp as the letter «В» and
can be used as a broche. When talking of the dresses, it is worth mentioning
the most expensive wedding dress on sale in London at the «Wedding Ring» store
for 240 000 pounds
sterling. The dress is made from the platinum threads, sewed on the base of
silk developed by the chief designer of Armani House Mauro Adami.

is Avatar, the most expensive Christmas tree toy is 18k white gold ball studded
with more than one and a half thousand diamonds, the most expensive trip is the
space trip when every participant paid around $20 million dollars to travel

to spend such amount were Dennis Tito and the computer giant from the South
Africa Mark Shuttleworth.
