Check out World's Most Expensive Belt Buckle Which Costs $5,000,000


Designer Roland Iten recently created the world's most expensive belt buckle which features a fancy orange brown diamond, also known as cognac diamond. The belt known as the R60-Diablo Belt Buckle, is one of a kind and captivating for a number of reasons.
First is the mechanics. The belts buckle opens with one touch of a button. Not only that, but the actual piece is made of a beautiful, high-end combination of metals, including 18-karat 5N rose gold, white gold and grade 5 titanium. Top all of that off with the breathtaking cognac diamond that it holds.

The nearly flawless orange brown  cognac diamond weighs in at 60.66 carats. Its kite shape adds to its unique design, and perfectly accentuates the shape of the buckle. The diamond originated from deep within Indian mines – the same ones that brought the world the 45.52-carat Hope Diamond and the 545.66-carat Golden Jubilee, which are renowned, striking jewels.





The extreme clarity of the Diablo diamond allows you to see right through it to the mechanics of the Roland Iten R60 mechanical buckle beneath


Considering the  rarity of the diamond  and the price, I'm sure you are wondering about the safety/security features put in place to make sure the stone is secure.
The designer Iten, being the great designer he is, already anticipated this and included four different forms of reinforcement that will keep the gem in place.  Really cool stuff!

The buckle was recently auctioned at a Christie's private auction, and there are indications that it may have even sold for more than $5 million dollars.

So at this point I gotta ask, If you could afford this belt buckle, would you indulge?
