House Of Gold Royal Chess Set With Diamond's.

Occasionally we like to step away from reporting on branded luxury goods from brands we are all familiar with, and inform on grossly inflated extreme products, usually made from solid precious metals.  And who better than House OF Solid Gold, for such feats of excess.

With that in mind, we present their "Royal" chess set, in solid 18k yellow and white gold, lavishly accented with fancy black and yellow-golden diamonds, weighing a massive 125.50 carats, making the piece a solid 1.2 grams of pure 18k gold.

The price for such excess?  A mere £300,000, not the worlds most expensive chess set, but at the price of a small London flat it still falls into the category of extreme luxury goods.
