Named the iPhone 18 Pro Max Prime Master Diamond 0.79 CT, the customized phone features a 0.79-carat diamond and took nine days and nights of technical work to complete, G'ACE said.
The most eye-catching feature is on the rear camera module, where artisans placed a diamond named Prime Element at the point where the three lenses meet.
To produce the finished 0.79-carat stone, the artisans cut it from a round high-pressure, high-temperature lab-grown diamond rough weighing around 1.5-1.8 carats, according to G'ACE.
