Russian Model Shows Off Lamborghini Aventador Encrusted With Two Million Diamonds

With London’s supercar season underway, it’s only natural that you will see a variety of Ford Fiestas, Volkswagen Polos and Vauxhall Corsas. Who are we kidding, eh?

The streets are actually packed with extravagant cars such as a £280,000 Rolls Royce Dawn, a £140,000 Porsche 911 GT3 and even a Bugatti Chiron worth an unbelievable £2.5 million. Wonder whether you can get it on finance.

Despite these, it was Russian model Daria Radionoca’s Swarovski crystal encrusted £350,000 Lamborghini Aventador that got the most attention.

According to the MailOnline, the 26 year old studied business management in London and now customises fur and leather products for wealthy clients.

So, now we know where she got the inspiration from herself, it is believed that the revamp took 700 man hours and over two months to apply two million of the crystals. Phew, bet she didn’t do that on her own.

Daria clearly likes her cars as well because she had previously owned a Lamborghini Huracan and a Mercedes CLS which she also adapted to suit her style. Wonder how much she forks out on insurance though…

Daria lives in Knightsbridge, central London, and is just one of 600 owners of the SuperVeloce version of the V12 model.

As well as this supercar, the model is CEO of two companies: DRJACKETS by Daria R. and a beauty salon called Royale Dolls Beauty.

She has over 150,000 followers on her personal Instagram account and in a recent Instagram Q&A on her story when she was asked how she could afford the whip, she said: “If you work as hard as I do – then you would afford one as well, even at a younger age. Whatever I show on Instagram – that’s what I decide to show.

“There is much more behind all these fancy pictures. I’m a very hardworking and ambitious person and I work 24/7, even when I sleep my mind is always on and always thinking about work and ££.

“I love luxury, I don’t want to depend on anyone – hence I’m working like crazy and being able to afford whatever I want.” Fair play to her.

When someone asked how she got insurance on the SV (SuperVeloce), she wrote: “Everything is possible, it’s just a matter of £££££. I’m paying way too much for insurance but this car is worth it”.

Anna Hu’s 100 Carat Yellow Diamond Necklace

Five pieces created by contemporary high jewelry artist, Anna Hu, will be among the jewels being offered at Sotheby’s Hong Kong Magnificent Jewels and Jadeite sale on October 7.

The high jewels on offer will come from Hu’s latest collection, “Silk Road Music Collection.” Unveiled in Paris during the first week of July, it consists of a group of about a dozen jewels inspired by musical and cultural exchanges that took place on the Silk Road – an ancient trade route connecting the eastern and western parts of the world.

Leading the five pieces at the upcoming auction is the “Dunhuang Pipa Necklace,” set with a 100.02 carat fancy intense yellow diamond provided by Sotheby’s. Its estimate is $5 million – $6.25 million. The silhouette of this necklace resembles a Chinese pipa a four stringed Chinese lute attached to lines of a western musical staff in 18k white gold that flows in twists and waves, and sparkles with pavé diamond along the neckline.

Hu was inspired by images of women playing the pipa depicted on murals in Dunhuang, considered an oasis for travelers in China’s northwest desert area along the Silk Road. The necklace can be transformed into a brooch and earring.

“It is absolutely a pleasure to collaborate with Sotheby’s on this project and be given the opportunity to work with the 100.02 carat yellow diamond, which is a true gift from nature,” Hu said.

Yvonne Chu, acting head of department, Jewellery, Sotheby’s, said this necklace “is one of the most important jewelry pieces on offer this season.”

As with much of Hu’s work, this latest collection combines her passion for music and western art with the Chinese themes from her upbringing in Taiwan. A resident of New York for many years, Hu’s brand is known for creating one-of-a-kind pieces with rare gemstones crafted by skilled French-trained artisans.
