An Israeli earrings business enterprise is working on what it says will be the world’s most high-priced coronavirus mask, a gold, diamond-encrusted face overlaying with a price tag of $1.5 million.

The 18-karat white gold masks will be embellished with 3,600 white and black diamonds and outfitted with top-rated N99 filters at the request of the buyer, stated fashion designer Isaac Levy.

Levy, proprietor of the Yvel company, said the client had two different demands: that it be done with the aid of the give up of the year, and that it would be the priciest in the world. That ultimate condition, he said, “was the best to fulfill.”

He declined to pick out the buyer, but said he was a Chinese businessman residing in the United States.

The glitzed-up face masks may additionally lend some pizzazz to the protective tools now obligatory in public spaces in many countries. But at 270 grams (over half a pound) — almost one hundred times that of a ordinary surgical mask — it is not probably to be a practical accent to wear.

In an interview at his manufacturing unit close to Jerusalem, Levy showed off a number of pieces of the mask, included in diamonds. One gold plate had a hole for the filter.

“Money perhaps doesn’t buy everything, but if it can buy a very high priced COVID-19 mask and the man needs to put on it and stroll round and get the attention, he should be pleased with that,” Levy said.

Such an ostentatious mask may also rub some the wrong way at a time when thousands and thousands of people round the world are out of work or struggling economically. Levy said that while he would not wear it himself, he used to be thankful for the opportunity.

“I am happy that this masks gave us sufficient work for our personnel to be able to supply their jobs in very difficult instances like these instances right now,” he stated
