Cutting-edge mobile phones are treated with a luminous finish by premier luxury boutique Continental Mobiles. The collection boasts a variety of dazzling gemstones which include white and black diamonds, velvet sapphires, fiery rubies, and verdant green emeralds. Gold finishes are created in timeless yellow or strawberry rose, and of course, there's white platinum.
The British manufacturer exhibits an impressive series of tailored 3G iPhones along with the most elegant Nokia and LG models. The latest addition: The Samsung Armani m7500 Night Effect with slick platinum or 24k gold plating and stunning LED lights on the sides.
The hand-crafted luxury handsets are delivered in a polished briefcase of the client’s color of preference--a selection among piano black, piano white and walnut--and are accompanied by a pair of microfiber gloves for handling and cleansing. An optional finishing touch is offered by the company’s laser engraving service.
