If poker is your game then you’ll be very interested to learn that Geoffrey Parker, the London-based maker of the finest games and gaming accessories in the world, has come out with the most expensive poker set ever. Priced at $7.5 million, this unbelievable poker set comes in a genuine alligator case, created in the color of your choosing, and is fitted with 18 karat white gold combination locks and hardware. And that’s just the case!
The case’ suede lining features an 18 karat gold and diamond frame to hold 384-18 karat white gold chips, each inlaid on both sides in shagreen (stingray skin) embossed with its value, which can be in any currency and denomination the client desires. The edge of each chip is set with precious stones – white diamonds for the white chips, sapphires for the blue, rubies for the red, emeralds for the green and black diamonds for the black. The dealer button will be a larger 18 karat white gold “chip” set with two rows of diamonds to the edge. The set will feature an estimated 22,364 stones in all, totaling 1,012 carats.
