This 35cm Birkin made by Hermès is crafted from black Porosus Crocodile, highlighted by 18kt white gold hardware and surrounded by 10 carats of VVSF quality diamonds. The incredible hardware detail alone includes 7 diamonds on the clasp, 16 diamonds on the brackets, an amazing 182 diamonds on the side strap plaques, and an incredible 40 diamonds on the bag’s padlock. Adding to its rarity is the fact that the gem work was done by Hermès.
