New iPod to replace engagement rings?

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

A new customised iPod has been released which could lead to many people giving their husbands and wives-to-be an engagement mp3 player rather than a ring.

Created by Selfridges, the pricey new iPod touch features hundreds of black and silver Swarovski crystals.

However, the clinching part of the customised design - which would make the iPod difficult to keep if the wedding gets called off - is its diamond ring design, which also includes 24 carat gold-coated crystals.

Pocket Lint.co.uk also reports that lovers can have the name or initials of their partners added on to the elaborate and expensive new music player if they do not plan on changing their minds and giving it to someone else.

The music player is priced at around £899, while an iPod nano version is also set to be available for £749.

In December, UK company Goldstriker announced that it is planning is to offer people the chance to have their iPods platinum-plated.

The company already offers gold and silver plating services for the music players, as well as mobile phones and car accessories.
