Would you pay US$49,990 for an iPhone 11 customised with moon rock and a spaceship part?
We are still a couple of weeks away from Apple’s highly anticipated event where the American technology company’s brand new iPhone 11 is expected to be launched.
In the run-up to the mid-September launch, all the major technology blogs and websites have already published lots of stories on the rumoured specifications and design features of the new smartphone.
However, Caviar, the Russian luxury customisation jewellery brand, has gone one step further and announced a whole range of decorated case backs for the iPhone 11, which all appear to be based on the purported leaks and rumours now in circulation.

Caviar’s flagship variant is called the Universe Diamond and is decorated not only with precious stones but also a piece of a real spaceship and fragments of the moon and a meteorite.
The space-themed customised iPhone 11 showcases the manufacturer’s vision of a unique design inspired by the solar system, based the top-of-the-range version of Apple’s smartphone with three cameras at the rear.
The orbits are depicted on the case back with solid gold spheres, while the planets and other celestial bodies are present in the form of precious stones, which include diamond, Swiss blue topaz and ruby.
At the centre of the design is a real, mechanical watch with a tourbillon.
