Crazy!

There's a lot of easy money being made these days. This would be just the sort of trinket that would appeal to easy earners who like to strut their stuff. Does it say who did the G cert?

If I were to have led a different life, and made billions instead of my modest savings, I would have hoped those billions could actually buy a better lighter, rather than the same thing but with diamonds on it.

But if you didn't think that way, you might have made Billions!

Never been a fan of colorless stones. Maybe ruby, emerald or opal.

Seems like a hell of a price to pay for a lighter that is merely gold-plated with very small diamonds on it.

Crazy!

Outrage drives clicks. ?

This would be more "me" at 1/12 the cost.

Puuleez! Solid platinum, or a least a thin shell, I believe.

Although, if I were going to throw a few years income at a total stranger to buy ugly, "limited edition" collector bling ostensibly to celebrate some meaningless corporate "anniversary" I might go with this flashy fountain pen commemorating 75 years of Dunhill-Namiki's creative partnership.

Maki-e Masterpiece by Kyusai Yoshida #15/25. This magnificent masterpiece was designed by now-retired Maki-e Grandmaster, Kyusai Yoshida, using the most complex and remarkable level of Maki-e: Grade A, signifying all-over lacquering of the most detailed variety.

Solid platinum,

There you go.? What little jewellery I wear is platinum and sterling, never cared for yellow metals.

If I were to invest in said platinum and diamonds, I believe I would rather hang them on my wife. I feel sure, though she is not a jewelry fanatic, she'd enjoy them more than I would on a lighter. I'm a fellow with plain tastes.

My lady is like me, preferring silver to gold. Not a fan of diamonds either, she says they have no soul. She's a huge fan of turquoise though.

Pleeez. . .it's just a lighter! I'd have to have the money,. of course, but I'd have to be very bored to buy it. "I can't think of anything else to do so I guess I'll buy the lighter."

Funky over fancy any day...

I can't wrap my head around how some people have so much money that it really means nothing to them

Do you wear a cape, and have a bunch of ladies working for you?

 

[mortonbriar]

(Because that bic be PIMPIN!)

Clearly overpriced for a 60th Anniv lighter that is platinum-coated brass-core.

Ironically, they made another version with a single "diamond" dust on the lighter's flip top. Lighter is the only Ligne 2 that does not "ping" by design to avoid losing the "diamond".
