Since time immemorial, men have shown their affection for the women they love by gracing them with gifts of splendour, especially jewelry. While expensive, these gifts let the woman know that it is her - and not the financial success he has attained - that a man prizes most in his life. Here are 3 high-priced gifts that will let your lover know she's the center of your busy world, and will definitely make you center of hers!

I got bored again and decided to see what crazy gifts of affection were out there on the web. I scoured luxury retailers, Ebay and Amazon and found a few items that were just insane! I personally would spend this kind of money on an exotic car but perhaps it would be better spent on the poor and suffering. Still, this world offers some amazingly expensive items and I know it's a guilty pleasure to take a gander so here we go!

de Grisogono 18K White Gold Bijoux Collier Haute Joaillerie Collection Emerald and Diamond Necklace This 18 karat white gold drop necklace is composed of hundreds of diamonds carrying 6 large emeralds which are themselves accented with rubies at the top of each separate mounting. The total weight of the diamonds is 137.89 ct, while the total weight of the coloured stones is 122.45 ct. Aesthetically speaking, the true brilliance of this piece is in the way that the shimmering emeralds contrast with the glittering rubies to create a truly rapturous masterpiece of precious stones. As a part of de Grisogono's Bijoux Collier Haute Joaillerie Collection, this necklace is among the most prized pieces of jewelry in the world, retailing for $2.4 million but presently available at the discounted price of just over $1.7 million. Nobody ever said living in luxury was cheap!

Hermès Diamond & White Gold Himalaya Birkin Famously worn by fashionista Victoria Beckham, this 30cm Diamond & White Gold Himalaya Birkin by Hermès is without a doubt the most coveted bag in the world right now. Only 10 of these were ever made, and they were assembled from crocodile skin (exterior) and goat skin (lining) by skilled artisans in France itself. The bag's radiant hardware is 68.4 white gold and is covered with 1.64 karats worth of diamonds. The bag comes with prized accessories such as a matching crocodile covered lock & key holder and a Hermès dust cloth. As far as French designer bags go, the Diamond & White Gold Himalaya Birkin by Hermès Paris is by far the most electrifying and classy, ideal for both black-tie dinner parties and modest day trips to the city. Owning style like this will set you back $300,000.

Round Diamond Platinum Ring These days, nothing says "success" and "wealth" quite like wearing platinum. Platinum is one of the rarest metals in the world, having a worldwide abundance in the Earth's crust of just 0.005 mg/kg. As a result, it is also one of the most expensive metals in the world, and this fact - combined with its glimmering beauty and useful malleability - has made it the ultimate ingredient to high-end jewelry, far more valuable than either gold or silver. The platinum ring featured here, at 4.05 carats and boasting no less than 54 naturally-created round stones, is a wonderful example of the kind of beautiful elegance that can be crafted from platinum. At a price of $498,067, this glittering ring is only for the wealthiest of the wealthy.

I imagine no one but a small handful of people would ever reckognize the actual "wealth" of these items. To me, it's like a fine wine..I can't tell much of a difference from a good $12 bottle. I certainly would love to know how often items like this get picked up on a yearly basis. Better yet, I'd love to know how much commission the sales person gets off a sweet sale in that price range. I'd love to see some other crazy expensive items so link them in the comments for me.
