Diamond-studded Christmas tree going for 200.7 million yen

TOKYO, Japan - A diamond-studded Christmas tree is on display at the Nihonbashi Takashimaya department store in Tokyo on Nov. 13. The 40-centimeter-tall Christmas tree is studded with 400 diamonds, the largest weighing 3 karats, and lined with chemically treated miniature roses. The Christmas tree comes with a teddy bear with a diamond necklace. Takashimaya says the set was specially designed for Christmas 2007 with the price set at 200.7 million yen. Without the diamonds, the tree and the teddy bear carry a more affordable price tag: 52,500 yen. The diamond Christmas tree set will be displayed for public viewing from Nov. 14 to Dec. 4. (Kyodo)
