Diamond-studded Easter egg

by Nicole Weston, Posted Apr 12th 2006 @ 11:41AM

Over at Luxist, they reported that La Maison du Chocolate has put together one of the world's most expensive Easter eggs. Priced at £50,000 (about $87,000), the 2-foot tall egg is made of chocolate that was imported from France and is entirely covered with 100 half-carat diamonds. On the inside, the egg has a peach, apricot and praline filling, and it is interesting to note that the egg - less the diamonds, of course - is completely edible. The egg is on display at La Maison du Chocolate in London.

Ok 2nd You people keep talking about how the money should go for a better cause ok think about this 87,000 to the person who might buy it is like 8,700 to us and instead of replying to my comment if you really wanna help the hurricane surviors or the starving or cancer patients then go help them in person instead of staying on this computer and if you're still going like "why i help" yea i bet you did gave about $100 or somepeople $1000 like me!!!

So if You Wanna Help Get You're But Off That Seat And Go Help Instead Of Writing On This Page!!!
