Munich gold dealer Pro Aurum has constructed a festive showstopper out of 2,018 gold coins topped with a glittering golden star, which the firm says is worth 2.3 million euros. Of course this was easily out down by The Emirates Palace hotel - who has historically had a Christmas tree Astatement from the hotel said it regretted “attempts to overload the tradition” by dressing the 13-metre fake tree with jewellery comprising gold, diamonds, rubies and other gems. Hans Olbertz, general manager of the self-styled ‘seven star’ hotel, had previously said the jewellery on the tree had a value of more than $11m.In March, Emirates Palace launched the world’s first gold bar vending machine. Christmas baubleThe most expensive Christmas bauble was sold in 2009 with a price tag of €92,000. It was made by a British jeweller and consisted of 18K gold and more than 1,500 diamonds. The beautiful bauble, which resembles a globe or planet, has two orbiting halo rings, which feature 188 rubies. It took a year to design and create the jaw-dropping piece. You wouldn’t want to drop this one! This is the world’s most expensive bauble and is made of 18 carat white gold, covered in more than 1500 diamonds and the rings surrounding it are covered in rubies. It took a whole year to design and make! It isn’t surprising that it comes with its own security – a steel framed case with 6mm thick laminated glass, and a microwave bubble with an alarm that sounds if it is broken! The shop then fills with smoke! It was created by the owners of the famous family jewellers and it took over 130 hours just to set the gems in. Christmas Wreath2. Diamond Christmas WreathFlorist from London made the most expensive Christmas wreath, which was sold for €3.2 million. The wreath was decorated with 16 rubies and 32 diamonds. While diamonds are forever, leaves are not. The greenery, which came from designer Pasi Jokinin-Carter’s home in Finland, only lasted for 12 days. It may not have been a long-lasting wreath but it certainly had a long lasting impact!
