Looks too good to eat doesn't it? Oh, that's because you can't. You could try, but the 20 ounces of 18k white and yellow gold and 548 round diamonds, 87 square emerald diamonds and a fancy 5.63 carat "Fancy Intense Yellow" radiant diamond might get in the way. Not to mention you'd probably hate yourself for eating $1 million dollars worth of jewels, even if they do look like a rather tasty cone.
The cone, which was made by Lazare Kaplan International Inc. in conjunction with Bruster's Real Ice Cream, was unveiled at the JCK Las Vegas Show. It was designed to mimic the look of Bruster's signature cherry vanilla ice cream and is supposed to speak of the "outstanding quality" of Bruster's ice cream. The million dollar cone is actually for sale and Bruster's will donate its proceeds from the sale to Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.
Oh and my favorite part of this story? Why that would be the fact that it's being touted as "the world's first $1 million ice cream cone." You know, so when the copycat million dollar cones come out they'll be able to say they did it first...

If I had a million dollars I wouldn't buy this, but I might insist a less expensive replica be made. Great find.
1cool.
2Why do they make normal every day things out of gold and diamonds these days?
3Neat idea but, what a waste of money.
4i don't get it.. is it a pin or like a real cone... if it's the latter does it have a stand? this is totally pointless
5It looks cool but its really impractical, like what could you even do with it?
6wow - i am speechless...
7Completely stupid.
8well...if it ends up having money donated to childrens charities, I'm all for it!
9I think its cool in a kitchy kind of way. It is an awesome idea to raise money.
by the way I live right down the street from the original Bruster's. I didn't realize they were such a large chain.
10Weird. Id rather have a real ice cream cone.
11at first I was going to say "what was the point of creating that" but now that I know the money goes to Big Brothers Big Sisters (an organization I used to be a part of), it's all good!
12Yes, but who is going to drop $1M on this? Its useless. Its a chunk of gold and diamonds.
13for a million dollar, i think it should look better than this.
