If the recession means nothing to you, then the new and exclusive “You Look Like a Million Dollars” service might interest you. An upshot of a collaboration between Laban Roomes of Goldgenie and renowned London sculptors Wrightson & Platt, this exclusive service accepts individual commissions for beautifully decorated and richly embellished portraits. This portrait service lets you immortalize your loved ones in precious metal and stones. Pictured above is the sculpture of Ben, aged 9 and is the very first of its kind. His striking portrait reminds us of the treasures of ancient Egypt and the antiquities of Greece. They combine imaginative elements with innovative technology and traditional skills to create these unique pieces. These portraits are sculpted at a London studio and then cast into bronze, glass and precious metals by a highly skilled team of British craftsmen. Cast from the human form, the work is considered and carefully rendered. The embellished portrait commissions take several months to complete and the pricing starts at around £50,000 (US $71,050).408443
