The “Gold Flakes Supreme” is ultra-premium vodka produced in France. It is quadruple distilled using crystal clear underground spring water, however the basic ingredients are unknown. What’s unique about this drink is that we can see 24-carat gold flakes floating in it. The Gold Flakes Supreme will be imported and marketed in the U.S. by the Shaw-Ross Importers. The beverage costs around $60 per 750ml bottle in selected outlets in the U.S.

“DIVA Premium Vodka” is triple distilled vodka produced by the Blackwood Distillers of Scotland. The drink is unique because it is filtered through a sand of crushed diamonds and gemstones. And also, in the middle of each of the bottle we can find precious stones, including diamonds.The price per bottle is between GBP 2,000 (equivalent to $3,700) and GBP 540,000 (equivalent to $1 million), depending on the choice of precious stones used in the bottle, which is probably the most expensive vodka in the world.

I can’t help thinking that I’d rather a stone on my finger than in a drink, and with a price tag like that…i think i will be sticking to the trusty old smirnoff!

A 101.27-carat diamond, rated VVS1 (very very slightly imperfect 1st degree) for clarity is the size of a squash ball and the largest colorless stone to be auctioned in Asia, has fetched $6.2 million at a Christie’s sale in Hong Kong.

The diamond is the largest colorless diamond to appear at auction in 18 years and one of only three colorless diamonds of over 100-carats ever to be auctioned.

However, it has been suggested that demand for top stones may be waning due to a weakening world economy as a much-hyped 72.22 carat “D” flawless white diamond failed to sell at a Sotheby’s Hong Kong auction in April.
