For an extra special touch, they can also be encrusted with VS1 diamonds.<\/p>\n<p>The collection, which is SIM free and compatible with any network, is exclusively available at <u><a href=\"http:\/\/goldgenie.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">goldgenie.com<\/a><\/u> and its flagship store in Dubai.<\/p>\n<p>Goldgenie founder and CEO, Laban Roomes, said: \u201cWe\u2019ve been turning items into gold for 24 years\u2019 now, but this is the most luxurious smartphone customised to date. With the London Assay Office Hallmark lending their prestigious stamp, it quite literally has the most iconic seal of approval.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe expect this to sell-out quickly with pre-orders already received. Yet, to keep it a collector\u2019s item, less than one hundred have been made.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ICON was designed as a symbol of unity, showing that that working together can make a positive impact. As such, a donation of \u00a3500 will be made for each handset purchased, with proceeds going towards The Princes\u2019 Trust.<\/p>\n<p>Made in Britain, the craftsmanship that goes into customising the ICON is unlike any other in the Goldgenie collection. The state-of-the-art handset is first deconstructed before a solid 18 gold metal layer is fitted to the back, and under the glass front.<\/p>\n<p>Uniquely, it carries both the London Assay Office Hallmark and GG Hallmark stamp. The result is a luxurious handset, with a satisfying weight and luxe finish.<\/p>\n<p>The following handsets are now available in the ICON collection, and come with a certificate of authenticity and lifetime warranty:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 ICON Apple iPhone XS, (256GB) with 70g of 18 carat gold &#8211; AED 27100<br \/>\n\u2022 ICON Apple iPhone XS, (512GB) with 70g of 18 carat gold &#8211; AED 27600<br \/>\n\u2022 ICON APPLE iPhone XS Max, (256GB) with 80g of 18 carat gold &#8211; AED 32100<br \/>\n\u2022 ICON APPLE iPhone XS Max, (512GB) with 80g of 18 carat gold &#8211; AED 33000<\/p>\n<p>Goldgenie is a luxury gift and customisation company known for its exclusive range of items; from gold-plated flowers to cars.
