If you are in the Washington DC Metro area, stop by the Tyson’s Corner, VA or Rockville, MD locations of Mervis Diamond Importers this weekend for the Verragio Trunkshow! Designers, Diana and Barry Verragio will be flying in with their entire collection. They will be showing hundreds of different styles in platinum and gold, for both men and women at a special discount for the day!

Our friends at Mervis Diamond Importers have outdone themselves this time. They have created the world’s first Fantasy Diamond Cupcake!

The cupcake is topped with 8 ideal cut round brilliant diamonds around its circumference, and a 2 carat Asscher cut diamond in the center. The price tag on the diamond is $30,000. Perhaps not realistic for most weddings, but there’s got to be someone out there who wants cupcakes with real diamonds at their wedding!

Diamonds and sweets…now that’s a perfect combination! What do you think about this fantasy cupcake?
