If you like your smartphone to have plenty of gemstones, Miami, FL-based Gresso has the product for you.

The company is releasing a version of the iPhone 7 that includes 1,450 black diamonds, along with 18-karat gold accents, CNET reports. The diamonds are on the back panel of the grade-5 titanium-bodied phone.

The price tag is $500,000. As part of the package, you also get a pair of AirPods complete with 30 black diamonds.

AppleInsider notes that this product won’t exactly have a large production run. Only three of the Lux model, part of the Black Diamond collection, will be made.

Gresso is also selling some less expensive, but still blingy, versions of the iPhone 7 starting in the $3,000 range. These, too, are limited-run productions, with only 999 units to be made.

You Wouldn’t Cut Your Own Hair. Why Run Your Own Retirement Sale?

After being in business for over a quarter of a century, Wayne Reid, owner of Wayne Jewelers in Wayne, Pennsylvania, decided it was time for a little “me time.” He says, “I’ve reached a point in my life where it’s time to slow down, enjoy a lot of things outside of the jewelry industry. It just seemed to be the right time.” He chose Wilkerson to handle his retirement sale because of their reputation and results. With financial goals exceeded, Reid says he made the right choice selecting Wilkerson to handle the sale. “They made every effort to push our jewelry to the forefront of the showcases,” he says, lauding Wilkerson for their finesse and expertise. Would he recommend them to other jewelers who want to make room for new merchandise, expand their business or like him, decide to call it a day? Absolutely he says, equating trying to do this kind of sale with cutting your own hair. “The results are going to happen but not as well as if you have a professional like Wilkerson do the job for you.”
