The Diamond Flower Mouse is unremarkable save for the fact that it is made of white gold and inlaid diamonds will set you back £14,995.00. Who buys this stuff? Can someone point them in my direction, because I’ve got a bridge I need to sell real fast…?
Upper case and buttons of the Diamond Flower are made of 750 white gold. This means that 750 parts out of 1000 are pure gold. The gold gets its white color from the alloy metal palladium, a precious metal of the platinum family. The palladium content is 13% or 130 parts. In a further step, the white gold is rhodinized. The galvanic coating with rhodium, another metal from the platinum family, gives the white gold its characteristic color. 58 brilliants with a diameter of 2mm and 1 brilliant with diameter of 4mm are separately set to form a lily. The total weight of all brilliants is two carats.
