Diamonds are a girls best friend...

The most expensive piece of diamond apparel ever made is making its debut in the 2006 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. Designer Susan Rosen worked with Steinmetz Diamonds to create the ultimate bikini, a special commission in collaboration with the swimsuit editors.

The bikini is made up of over 150 carats of D Flawless diamonds, some of the rarest in the world including ....

a 51ct D Flawless Pear Shape,
a 30ct D Flawless Emerald Cut,
a pair of 15ct D Flawless Rounds and
a pair of 8ct D Flawless Pear Shapes.

All of the diamonds are free of inclusions, or nature's birthmarks, making the sparkle and brilliance unsurpassable.

That,coupled with perfect D colored stones, which are set in platinum, makes the bikini truly extraordinary.

The diamond bikini is body jewelry that reflects the eternal love and beauty of women. Not a lot of materials for $30 million.
