In Marbella, a 14 million euro Christmas tree: diamonds, jewels and gold handbags on the branches – Repubblica TV

Diamonds, Swarovski crystals, lots of gold and precious jewels. The Christmas tree made by British designer Debbie Wingham, famous for her extravagant and luxurious creations, is really out of the ordinary: worth 11.9 million pounds, just under 14 million euros. The decorations were made also by recycling many jewels of great luxury brands such as Bulgari and Chanel, but there are also references to more traditional Christmas ornaments, such as angels and the Nutcracker. With a similar value, this tree, housed in the lobby of the Kempinski Hotel Bahia in Marbella, Andalusia (Spain), could soon snatch the title of 'World's Most Expensive Decorated Christmas Tree' won in 2010 by the Abu Dhabi Emirates Palace .
