Harold and I were floating around the internet world one day checking out and remarking on all sorts of images. That’s when we came across a picture that had a beautiful wooden two-doored ornamented cabinet that glowed like it was put together in heaven. I’m sure we heard angels singing!
“Emerald Isle Collection”, Dr. Wetbrain read out loud.
“Well let’s look into this”, was Harold’s reply.
Ends up that the Craft Irish Whiskey Co. partnered up with Faberge the famed jeweller to create this elegant, handcrafted cabinet and called it ‘The Emerald Isle Collection’.
This luxurious seven-piece jewelled Irish Whiskey set was designed to celebrate the ‘Seven Wonders of Ireland”.
First there is the dark walnut handcrafted keyed case which holds all the treasure such as two handcrafted bottles of rare 30-year-old triple distilled Irish Whiskey.
Next item took over 100 hours to handcraft. The Faberge Celtic Egg which was made with 18k yellow gold. Set with 104 cut diamonds which adorn the Celtic Knot. Added to the egg are 7 exotic gemstones. Truly in the Faberge style. Nesting in the egg is an uncut Zambian emerald.
Then there is the Swiss made stylish rich timepiece. An Altruist self-winding watch with a 22k gold oscillating weight. This fine work of art has a mother-of-pearl face with hand-painted 24k gold flakes. Even each watch dial was crafted by the Faberge team. All encased in Rose Gold and sprinkled with Sapphire Crystals. The watch is finished with an alligator brown strap with a Rose Gold buckle.
Two Cohiba Siglo VI Grand Reserva Cigars; a gold-plated cigar cutter and a gold-plated water pipette. Way too fancy. But no, there’s more!
Obsidian whiskey stones. Yes, had to look it up! Obsidian is a rock formed when lava solidifies rapidly and is used for reusable alternative to ice cubes. Lastly a carafe filled with Irish Spring water.
On March 17, 2021, this elegant ‘Emerald Isle Collection’ auctioned off for 2 million dollars. Best part of the deal is that all the proceeds from the sale went to Correa Family Foundation for children affected with cancer.
What a great rare story of the rich helping the needed, Dr. Wetbrain thought.
