Michelle Obama is to receive this £20,000 thank you from her husband for her support during the election.
The Harmony ring is made of rhodium - the world's most expensive metal --and encrusted with diamonds. It is being hastily made by Italian designer Giovanni Bosco in time for January's inauguration ceremony.
Only about 25 tons of rhodium are mined each year, mostly in South Africa, and as a result its price is typically around £5,000 an ounce.

Besides the blatant hipocrocy, I wonder if guys who mined this precious metal for his worshipness get union wages, get employer provided health insurance and regular coffee breaks down in the mines of South Africa?
Pimpin’ ain’t easy. You gotta show your pimp hand with some bling, yo.
Is this his idea of spreading the wealth?
Nothing like leading by example. What a putz.
....nothing but the finest for the limosene liberals don’cha know.
As the Birth Certificate scandal grows bigger and bigger....
Wheel covers next?
The Executive limo is about to be made over on Unique Whips. It’ll have a 15,000 watt stereo system, hydraulics, neon packs on the underside, velour interior, etc.

In other news the sun will rise tomorrow and people who made a lot of money give each other expensive gifts.

For 20,000 pounds you’d think he could at least get an attractive ring for her. It’s awful.
The Liberals will be coming after your wealth shortly. The elitist in DC want the rest of us as peons. Kind of reminds me of the Communist Party elites.
I, personally, think its tacky. I’m sure he can afford it and i’m sure michelle thinks she deserves it and maybe she does. But....considering the economy and the fact that he has just been elected president, i would have lived as frugally as possible during my time in office as a show of solidarity with the average working man.
Kobe Bryant’s wife got a much nicer ring for Kobe’s fooling around. BTW, whatever happen to that woman with whom Obama alledgedly had an affair?
Get real. Do think even for 1 minute that ne will be de-throned?
How about some grillz?
Rhodium was at over $10,000 a year or so ago, now it is at around $1,000 and was as low as $300 5 years ago. Looks like Obama doesn’t know too much about the market.
