Price of collar goes up!

Woa, little did I realize ..... Chalk this one up to inflation.

Kimberley Foley, general manager of i Love Dogs, tells me that our earlier post about the world's most expensive dog collar got the price all wrong.

Oh sure, it used to be $1.2 million. But that was then. Now, Kimberley tells me that the price

of their one-of-a-kind 52-carat diamond collar with more than 1,600 hand-set diamonds stands at $3.2 million.

The rising cost of diamonds and platinum, don't you know.

While the Torrance-based company can't reveal any names, Kimberley says there have, indeed, been some inquiries from prospective buyers -- "high-end, VIP people."

I'm guessing the price might be a bit stiff for most of our readers.

But not to worry. There are other bejeweled dog collars offered on the ilovedogs site (see models Gigi and Mushu above). Like the exquisite  Amour de la Mer with only 500 diamonds and a sapphire, although the exact price isn't listed.

Sanam, who is among the elite group of readers who follow this blog, told me she thinks her

dog, Indi (that's Indi left/below, doing some yoga moves), would look good in the Amour Amour.

 

 

 

 

I don't know.

I see Indi in something a little less delicate, maybe something a bit more "coach," like ilovedogs' Jeune Cheri shown below:

Indi's ready for her collar fitting now, please.
