The Gresso Enigma Labyrinth: 192 GB storage, diamonds and gold. $7,300 each

You need not be a billionaire to have already learned things about Europe's most extravagant luxury gadgets company, Russia's Gresso. Some of its best-known works have been seen in the field of turning mobile phones from simple communication devices into true pieces of technological art, priced accordingly, of course, and available only to a select few. It seems that Gresso's success has driven even more thoughts in the direction of the luxury technology and it's with a rather pleasant surprise that I now introduce to you the new line of USB flash memory sticks, the Enigma collection. In fact, "collection" might seem a bit exaggerated as we're talking about 2 different models: Labyrinth and Constellation.

 

These two gadgets are indeed useful, if we look at the tech specs: boasting a massive 192 GB of storage space flowing up and down with the USB 2.0 speed, these two sticks can really carry a lot of data. But the truly spectacular is yet to come, because, unlike most of the similar storage solutions, the Enigma pieces are made from actual wood. And as if common high-quality wood was not enough (and it seems that is really wasn't, not by far), both Labyrinth and Constellation sport a most intriguing African Blackwood casing, made from 200 year-old wood! Beat that... if you can.
 

The Gresso Constellation: a wood-diamonds-gold pendant doubling as 192 GB storage. Or vice-versa.

Additionally, these USB thingies come in two different shapes: since the Enigmas consist of three 64 GB different memory cards, they are to be assembled by plugging one into another, thus creating the shape of a triangle and a 6-corner star, respectively. The wood casing sports a high-class design made of small and fancy diamonds, studded in 18K yellow or white gold.
 

And they're not meant to remain in the dark depths of your pockets, like any decent USB memory stick would: both the Labyrinth and the Constellation models come with rubber straps so they can be proudly worn as pendants and displayed in the most luxurious places. With the editions limited to 99 pieces only, you should hurry up if you plan to lay your hands on such exquisite tech-jewels. If you can afford to spend 5,000 Euros (around $7,300) on each, that is.
