World's most expensive Christmas tree on display in Estepona hotel
09/12/2019
The Kempinski Hotel Bahia in Estepona has put up what's alleged to be the world's most expensive Christmas tree.
The tree, decorated with 11.9 million euros worth of pink, red, white and black diamonds and other precious stones and a mixture of remastered, expertly upcycled jewellery from world-famous brands like Bvlgari, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Chanel, will remain on show in the hotel's reception area until January 6th.
Alongside the precious stones on the three-and-a-half-metre high tree are exclusive Martini glasses, feathers, perfume bottles and even 3D-printed chocolate peacocks, as well as traditional decorations like snowflakes, fairies and spectacular hand-decorated baubles, carefully curated with a mixture of materials, from diamond dust and 24 carat gold, to emu and ostrich eggs..
The hotel joined up with British haute couture designer Debbie Wingham in order to bring the extravagant project to fruition. Wingham's work is inspired by green peacock feathers and the modernist Art Déco era.
