Forget Balls of Steel….Want Balls of Diamond?

Balls of diamondMorning!

Picture the following.  Having finally reached Internet Gazillionairedom, you find yourself reclining on the white sandy beaches of your beachfront castle nestled in the grasslands of Alaska.  Turning on your handy-dandy wrist-HDTV, you spot an infomercial that spouts the term, Balls of Steel.  Impervious to any outside force, people who possess balls of steel are obviously destined to lead nations to greatness or at the very least, gain an interview on the Oprah Winfrey show that involves them, a delightful giggling 5 year old, and a well-placed kick.

But!  Where stop at mere steel when you can don on the ultimate of ball-style! 

To wit:

...The Diamond Golf  Ball £18,000!

“The Diamond Golf Ball” is a rare precious work of fine art jewelry.
This entirely handmade creation is an expression of meticulous craftsmanship, Harmonic synthesis of aesthetics and functionalism, beauty and serviceability.

This golf ball is created from 70.00 grams of 18K white gold and set with 11.00 carats of natural white and natural color enhanced black diamonds. Its diameter is 4 cm…..MORE….

Okay, true.  It’s not exactly jumbo huge.  But hey, remember – it’s not the size of the dog in the fight that’s important, it’s the size of the fight in the dog!  :)

And if that particular ball is a weeee bit too excessive, lookie at:

Enjoy,

    Now that’s just plain silly.  But I do like the diamonds.  I wonder if they make tennis balls that way?

    @Shellie,

    Not that I’ve seen, but they do have soccer balls that are similarly blinged out…..  :)
