Goldgenie founder Laban Roomes, who won investment from James Caan on Dragons Den, said: “We know that mobile phones are a part of most people’s daily lives and, like with a watch or item of jewelry, some people like to have the very best. Our new Superstar range features beautifully designed iPhone 5’s which you won’t be able to buy anywhere else.

“What’s more, we understand that mobile phones are consumable goods and many people like to upgrade every year or two which is why this unique range is timeless. The 200grams of solid gold can be melted down and, along with the diamonds, be re-designed to embellish any other phone model.

“The value of gold is constantly increasing, making this purchase a real investment for the future.”
