The chess set, valued at nearly $ 4 million and produced in only three copies, was created by Australian jeweler Colin Byrne. This set has become the most expensive in the world.

Exclusive chess consists of a standard number of pieces. However, they are distinguished by their material of manufacture - white gold and diamonds. To distinguish which pieces on the field are white or black, it is enough to look at the pearls. One half of the "peas" is black, the other is white.

Gems adorn not only the surface of each figure, but also their base. The delicate pattern is complemented by miniature blue sapphires surrounding the diamond.

Tempered glass is used as a chess stand, in the decoration of which there is also inlaid with precious stones. It is concentrated in the corners of the chess field.

At the moment, the author of these beautiful chess is thinking about creating other board games, for which he can also use precious metals and stones. Next in line are checkers, backgammon, and perhaps even a deck of cards with an unusual finish.
