When technology and high fashion merge, the profit goes to those who love glamorous luxury in their everyday lives

If you thought the ultimate in sophisticated accessories was having as many glamorous pairs of shoes and bags as possible, think again: in an age where cutting-edge technology and high fashion seem to collide more and more often, nothing spells "luxury" better than a diamond-encrusted digital camera and an equally spectacular USB flash drive. Or at least that's what designers at the leading jewelry retailer Dalumi Group seem to believe, as they just launched their very own luxury lifestyle accessory collection with a twist.

For their first two luxury pieces - a diamond-encrusted digital camera and USB flash drive - Dalumi joined forces with Korean electronics and communications producer LG and Japanese digital photo and office solutions company Ricoh. Dalumi first debuted in the fashion world a year ago, when it joined forces with Italian designer Gianfranco Ferr? - and in the wake of that particular partnership, they decided it was time for a more unique approach to high fashion.

"The success of the exclusive diamond-studded clothing item that we designed together with Gianfranco Ferr?, prompted us to partner and manufacture other unique items such as these elegant electronic goods", states Yuval Kemp, Head of Marketing and Business Development for Dalumi. "With the combined know-how of the three companies, we have created exceptional, exclusive accessories with a very luxurious look".

The Ricoh Caplio R5 digital camera sports 200 spectacular diamonds mounted on white gold around the circular lens and will set you back about $25,000. The white-gold LG USB key is also framed in Dalumi diamonds and can be yours for a mere $10,000. "Merging grace with state-of-the-art technology, these trendy digital accessories are one-of-a-kind items, designed for people who like to make their mark wherever they go", boasts a Dalumi press release - and indeed, for those who love technology but find it sometimes lack a little bit of glamor, these two luxury accessories are the ideal solution.
