A Florida-based luxury card company is manufacturing what has to be the world's most expensive Christmas card.
The card is made from German-imported calfskin vellum, painted with 23K gold and ornamented with precious stones. No detail is spared when it comes to making these luxury cards, which take over a month to create. The cards are delivered in a leather-bound box that's also custom-made. To get even more personal, buyers have the option of having their signature inscribed by a professional calligraphist.
The cards retail anywhere from $395 to a whopping $10,000, depending on what you get. For instance, the special edition Grand Couture collection features garnets, emeralds, amethyst, rubies and diamonds, which hike up the price. If the card costs that much, I can't imagine how much the accompanying gift must be!
