Guinness Recognizes NYC Jewelers’ Creation of World’s Most Valuable Dreidel

New York – A Fifth Avenue jeweler received coveted recognition from the Guinness World Records organization for having created the world’s most valuable dreidel.

Estate Diamond Jewelers’ product took four months to manufacture and it is valued at $70,000. The four Hebrew letters of Nun, Gimmel, Hey and Shin are diamond-encrusted, and its tip is a 4.20-carat diamond.
While it certainly resembles the look of a standard dreidel, it’s actually considerably larger with the body alone resembling the size of a business card. Upright, it stands at 10.8 cm off the ground.
Constructed entirely of 18k gold, the smaller lettering is made with 18k white gold and has 222 modern round brilliant diamonds inlaid into the symbols.

Estate Diamond Jewelry is a business that has collected rare and vintage engagement rings for over 40 years – and their long-standing history and prized collection sparked the initial idea for creating the lavish piece, Guinness said.

“The indented edges of the faces, the sharp diagonal lines of the pavilion, and the straight top are strong themes of the Art Deco Era,” the jewelry company said in a release. “The final design was heavily inspired by the Chrysler Building — which is only a few blocks away from our showroom.”
This occasion marks the first time that Diamond Estate Jewelers has earned a Guinness World Records title, but they might have their sights set on more in the future. They say it’s been “one of our greatest accomplishments in 2019.”
