Fancy creating a stir each time you raise your champagne glass in a toast? By embedding diamonds in champagne and wine glasses, Austrian company Diamonds In Glass has successfully created a luxury item out of an everyday object.

The brainchild of Natascha Marx, this unique concept was borne out of a chance encounter with glass artist Tobias Berger in 2005. The duo developed a process of combining glass and diamonds – which they have since patented. This is possible through the use of borosilicate glass, which melts at a higher temperature than diamonds. Every diamond is checked and certified for weight, purity, color and cut before they go into the molten glass.

Two collections in two distinctive styles of clear and black-colored glass have been created – "Tabletop" and "Bodytop". Tabletop, as its name suggests, features an assortment of glasses, a caviar dish, serviette rings, and ashtray while Bodytop is the company's jewellery collection.

Their latest "Imperial" collection of champagne glasses, individually hand-blown, are plated with 6.34 ounces of gold, and 8.1 ct diamonds, and each comes with a price tag of €65,000 (about US$95,360). The company will even customize special designs for those who want a unique glass to call their own.

At Southeast Asia's inaugural Millionaire Expo held at the Royal Paragon Hall in Siam Paragon, Thailand in November 2007, Diamonds In Glass presented a saxophone made in honor of King Bhumipol of Thailand for the charity foundation of Princess Pa of Thailand. Embellished with 10 two-ct. diamonds and 2.82 ounces of gold plating, the saxophone is housed in a black polished wooden box with the royal logo engraved by hand onto the box.
