A Portrait in Gems

December 21st, 2009

You know you’ve made it when you are the subject used as an example for these custom made portraits made out of diamonds.  Gemstone Creative has come up with a concept to provide bespoke mosaic artwork to those who can afford it.  Prices range from $50K to over a million dollars depending on the size.  There is also the option of going with Swarovski Crystals for much cheaper.

    Great idea, a bit egotistical for whoever would purchase such an item, but hey to each their own, still great art

    I think this looks amazing, not necessarily the image, but the work.

    A Tupac one would be dope or Michael Jackson. Someone legendary. I peeped their Marilyn Monroe and Barack Obama ones. I wonder if its really made or computer generated.
    I hope this is Jayoncé’s, lol.

    Amazing what people will spend money on, I couldn’t do it.

    Just as well to just put a mirror there and be a work of art, like a Warhol already! Cool pictures though.
