Vertu Signature Cobra has been embellished with 436 rubies (yes, that’s right) that have been carefully placed on the ‘cobra’ shape of the phone, which has two emerald eyes. Furthermore, the phone is made of 388 different parts that have been assembled by hand in the United Kingdom.

But that’s just the beginning of the description of the ‘jewelled’ phone. The phone is not special because of its ‘smart’ features but because it has been designed by French jewellery brand Boucheron. And if you do manage to get your hands on one the eight phones, you will have to make a downpayment of CYN 1,000 (Rs 10,000 approx). The phone will be delivered to you by a helicopter when you make the full payment.
