If you think bejeweled wedding dresses are not enough to be an
eye-opener, how about a wedding dress bearing 9,999 karats, or
about two kilograms of gems?
Such a dress has been put on sale on Monday at a jewelry store
in Shangrao in eastern China's Jiangxi province.
A report says it is a work by a well-known Hong Kong jewelry
designer.
Its price tag reads 999,999 yuan (US$132,902).
The sky-high price has raised many eyebrows. Admirers said the
dress was astonishingly beautiful, but they thought no one would
make the bold purchase.
