Signs of the recession lifting up have been a huge welcome, even in the luxury market. Well this moolah-related happening has given a reason to most brands to go real wild and creative on their theme-based luxe products. Take Mobiado for instance, this Canadian mobile phone maker has just created the the 350 Pioneer to join the space-themed luxury phone by Vertu.
We are told that 350 Pioneer has a body that’s been machined from none other than spacecraft aluminum with clear anodizing to achieve an exclusive and hard surface. Once this is done, the maker inlaid the frame with sapphire crystals as well as an infrared window made from a single piece of ruby crystal.

The Motorola Aura has been on the top of the news for a whole bagful of reasons. We heard about the grand presentation by none other than David Beckham and then there was Amosu waving it’s bling-y wand on the mobile to create some cheezy but luxe versions for the same. And this time, it is the Diamond Edition of the phone that is making heads turn. Designed with the sole motivation to outshine every other phone in the league, this one is a sight to behold with its 18 carat goldplating.
Not just that, some 34 sparkling diamons line the circular display of the phone (something like what Amosu did but we prefer the new pattern a wee bit more). The mobile phone is a real show stopper.

Imitation is the best form of flattery they say. But not always, is what we say. Take the Vertu Signature Boucheron phone for instance. This $310,000 worth limited edition piece has got itself a cheap rip-off. The out-of-reach phone has now been made available (and not in a good way) to all at a very low price of $700. After all, it isn’t the original piece that we all fell in love with instantly.
The duplicate Vertu Boucheron tries to impersonate the original in every possible way, of course minus the class and elegance characteristic to the handset. There are no real diamond or rubies but cheap stones that try to remain as close they can to the real play of colors.

Vertu, Nokia’s deliciously luxurious division that shells out high-end mobile phones just got a new feather on its cap. The popular line Ascent Ti has got itself a new version with the Vertu Ascent Ti Damascus Steel. An ancient steel forging technique has been used to get this rather new shape with an increased strength and hardness. We especially liked the hand etching on the phone.
For the uninitiated, the same technique is used to make Samurai swords and Indian Wootz swords. So you can be assured that the Ascent Ti Damascus is a sturdy one.
