Fine champagne needs an equally fine glass. It follows, then, that drinking the most expensive champagne requires the most expensive champagne glass.
Enter John Calleija, designer of a pair of champagne glasses sure to put any others to shame. Adorned with 1,700 diamonds—both white and a rare argyle pink—these glasses were hand carved from a pair of 8kg blocks of quartz crystal. The glasses are nearly 6 inches tall, over half a pound apiece and share between them 15 carats of diamonds.
Calleija, wishing to expand his work into luxury goods, drew diamond-covered letter openers, scissors, chopsticks and even salt and pepper shakers before hitting upon the more conventional idea of a pair of luxurious champagne glasses. An anonymous client, upon seeing the design, immediately commissioned them and plans to make them into family heirlooms.
So how much did this anonymous businessman pay for the world’s most expensive champagne glasses? A mere $400,000 allowed him to secure this sparkling legacy.
