$500,000 Diamond Studded Chess Set! Renowned French artist and jeweler, Bernard Maquin created the Royal Diamond Chess set in 2005. This is one of the most expensive chess sets in the world. Thirty craftsmen, under the direction of Maquin spent over 4500 hours creating the expensive chess set. The work was done from start to finish by hand. The artists and jewelers used 1168.75 grams of 14 carat white gold, and approximately 9900 black and white diamonds, bringing the total weight to 186.09 carats and the total cost to a whopping $500,000. Pocket change, huh?? I wonder if the game is more fun when played on a chess set that cost more than the homes we live in.....
