Wired Diamonds, Part Two
Wish that jewelry could attract as much buzz as the luxury electronics that now dominate the holidays? Jewelers are joining in, creating jewels for your electronics. (If you can’t beat ‘em….) Last month I told you about some diamond encrusted iPod headphones. Now a jewelry brand has hitched its diamonds to the flat-screen TV. New York-based A. Link has created a diamond-encrusted frame for the one-millionth Philips Ambilight FlatTV. The television features 2,200 diamonds totaling 225 carats of diamonds in a floral pattern. The Ambilight television surrounds the screen with ambient light that automatically adapts in color and intensity according to the changing content on the screen, resulting in a more immersive experience. (It’s also very nice for enhancing the sparkle if your Ambilight happens to be encrusted with thousands of diamonds.) The bling TV will be exhibited around the world to Philips customers, employees and consumers before being auctioned off in late 2007 with the proceeds donated to charity.
