Life-size diamond ball adds sparkle to FIFA World Cup in South Africa

A South African jeweler has unveiled a 20 million rand (267,000 U.S. dollar) life-sized sized World Cup football to commemorate the FIFA World Cup which kicks off in Johannesburg on Friday.

The ball is made up of 6,620 white and 2,640 black round brilliant cut South African diamonds giving a total weight of 3,500 carats.

Jeweller Yair Shimansky told Business Day newspaper in Johannesburg ball "was not designed for any goal kicking practice."

The diamond encrusted ball weighs about 2.2 kg.

Shimansky said he is in talks with a European soccer club about selling the World Cup ball to them as a 2010 commemorative display piece for their club.

His seven national stores will each exhibit an exact crystal replica of the ball in their windows for the duration of the World Cup, which runs from June 11 to July 11. After the World Club is concluded each replica will be auctioned with the proceeds being given to each regional store's chosen charity.

Event I am looking forward to go!

Treasury of the World: Jewelled Arts of India in the Age of the Mughals
12 Feb 2010 - 27 Jun 2010
@ Special Exhibitions Gallery, ACM Empress Place

Immerse yourself in the opulence of the legendary Mughal empire(1526 – 1858), one of the wealthiest, most powerful dynasties the world has ever known. Treasury of the World features a dazzling array of 402 exquisite jewelled works of art from Mughal India, from The al-Sabah Collection in Kuwait.
The rulers of the Mughal empire were so renowned for their lavish lifestyle, love of beauty and vast collection of precious objects, that the Mughal emperor Jahangir was once described in a letter by the English Ambassador Thomas Roe as ‘the treasury of the world’. Visit this exhibition to learn more about the diverse techniques in the jewelled arts used by the artisans and craftsmen during the Mughal period.

This travelling exhibition began its journey at The British Museum in London and has since been shown in world-renowned venues such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Louvre Museum in Paris. The exhibition will make its Asian debut at the Asian Civilisations Museum in Singapore.
This exhibition is organised by The al-Sabah Collection, National Council for Culture, Arts & Letters, Kuwait, in collaboration with the Asian Civilisations Museum.

Admission charges: $8 (adult) / $4 (concession) / $20 (family package) Includes admission to ACM permanent galleries.

Fisher Space Pen

Whoppe...

Got a phone call from Fook Hing Trading to inform me that they would a 1 to 1 exchange for my faulty Fisher Space Pen.

I am indeed very touched and pleased by their gesture. This is indeed a far difference from the 1 over month I had to wait for when my Montblanc Marlene Dietrich pen was sent for repair after the sapphire dropped off!

Sometimes, as consumers, we can't use the price of a pen to gauge the level of service we ought to receive.

I would like to offer my sincere thanks to Fook Hing Trading and Fisher Space Pens!

For others who would like to try The Fisher Space Pens, visit their site.

You can get them at Fook Hing Trading which is located at Blk 231 Bain Street, #01 – 23 Bras Basah Complex, Singapore 180231!

Fisher Space Pen Cracked - II

Alright, managed to get a reply from our local pen distributor!

And they have informed me to send in the pen back while they contact the manufacturer.

Really wonder what is going to happen next.
