Halloween Costumes Ideas For Pregnancy - Accessorizing Baby Bumps

If you’re expecting a baby soon, you’re already prepared to look like a barrage balloon, so you might as well go all out for Halloween. If you’re so far along that you won’t be able to hide your baby bump, why not enhance it? I think that’s the best Halloween costume idea for pregnant women. As these ladies in the gallery demonstrate, you can look pretty awesome, despite being pregnant on Halloween, and what a great photograph to show your children one day.

$60,000 wristwatch that is impossible to counterfeit

The luxury wristwatch market is flooded with fakes these days, and it’s kinda hard to tell the difference between the two. But now, Swiss watchmaker Vacheron Constantin is claiming to have made a wristwatch that is impossible to counterfeit. Dubbed the Quai de I’lle, the watch features invisible UV marking, laser perforations, high-security inks, and other techniques employed to secure passports and currencies. Some of the models available in this watch collection tout tiny text on the dials, which can be read only with the help of a magnifying glass. Pricing starts at $12,000 for the “impossible to counterfeit” wristwatch and can go as high as $60,000, depending on the styles and deterrents used. They have plans to make 800 Quai de I’lles a year.

The Gold iPhone

In case just having an iPhone isn't good enough of a statement for you, soon you'll be able to have an iPhone plated in 24 carat gold. I'm not going to say it looks bad, because it doesn't (it is an iPhone, after all!), but I will say the concept is a little over the top and a bit ridiculous -- especially once people realize it is in fact real gold.

There's not much space to put the gold on an iPhone so not sure if the price (which is still TBA) will reflect that or not. Just don't add any diamonds anywhere, please (although I'm sure that's next...).

Gold and Jeweled Chess Set

Royalty in ancient India played a form of Chess called Shatranj. Sadly, all they had was silk cloth board and usual dice. If they knew about the latest artistic investment in the game of Chess, they would have been amazed. For instance, The Art Of War board and dice, designed by Victor F. Scharstein. Imagine rhodium and gold chess pieces dancing at your command on a decked up ebony board.

Every piece is tastefully decorated with diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires and other precious stones. Even the legs of the board are all gold- having eight all gold balls. It will be priced at nearly $50,000. It is said that all other parts of the game such as the lock and the key, the hinges and the handle are made of gold. I can imagine how much motivation a thief will have to break open the lock and get away with it.
My other concern is that of functionality itself. Would not so much of glitter distract the attention away from the game? But may be that is also a positive point if you twist the argument a little.
