Diamond-Encrusted Ski Helmets

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Halo Master Chief Helmet Has 25,000 Swarovski Crystals

— October 28, 2015 — Social Good
Gearing up for the release of the latest version of the popular Halo video game, this Master Chief helmet was made with 25,000 Swarovski crystals to raise money for the Make a Wish Foundation. The helmet will be auctioned off on eBay and all of the proceeds will go to the charity. Weighing five pounds, the headgear piece gleams from every angle, the only part without diamonds being the ski visor.

The Master Chief helmet is a main part of the protagonist's costume, however, in the video game it has a camouflaged design rather than one made of diamonds. While the gleaming Swarovski ski helmet wouldn't exactly be appropriate for blending in during combat, the ski helmet certainly will be ogled by Halo players and fans online.
