Quote:
A unique gold, diamond and ruby Christmas bauble, produced by high end jeweller’s Embee Jewels of London in association with Hallmark Jewellers , and valued at £82,000 is being sold to raise money for the charity this Christmas.
World's most expensive Christmas bauble by Embee Jewels of LondonThis incredibly intricate piece, which took over a year to design and produce, is made of 18ct white gold, and encrusted with 1,578 diamonds, with a total weight of 18.64 carats. It is surrounded by two rings featuring 188 red rubies and three Roman Rub-over set one-carat diamonds1.
World's most expensive Christmas bauble by Embee Jewels of LondonThe bauble also features a snowflake cut out pattern and comes in a bespoke handmade wooden box, complete with a stand and has been independently valued by the Goldsmiths Company. At least 15% of the money raised will be donated to the National Autistic Society (NAS).
Jane Asher, President of the NAS, comments,
I’ve been a fan of Embee’s beautiful diamonds for several years now, and this Christmas decoration is absolutely stunning: whoever is lucky enough to buy it will have something truly unique and beautiful that will be an heirloom for generations. The money raised from the sale of this wonderful piece will help The National Autistic Society provide support, advice and information to some very vulnerable children and adults at a particularly difficult time of year. For people with autism the changes to routine and endless surprises of the Christmas period can make life especially frightening and I’m extremely grateful to Embee Jewels of London for their kind gesture.
Alastair Graham, Director of Fundraising and Marketing at the NAS, added,
Christmas is a time for giving and that includes giving support to those who need it most. Whoever purchases this incredible Embee Jewels of London bauble will be making a real difference to the lives of people with autism. However if you don't have £82,000 to spare, any amount donated will help us to provide support and information to people with autism who need someone to turn to.

Why doesn't the money go to find a cure for cancer?
Because there's more than one charitable cause in the world?
