The Guinness World Records world record for the Most expensive jewellery box was set by a Cartier jewelled vanity case, set with a fragment of ancient Egyptian steel, which was sold at Christie’s, New York, USA for $189,000 (£;127,832) on 17 November 1993.

Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the most jewels on a guitar; it is 16,033 and was achieved by Aaron Shum Jewelry Ltd. (Hong Kong) in Basel, Switzerland, as verified on 11 March 2016. The Fender guitar was decorated with a range of stones including topaz, citrine, rhodolite and cubic zirconium.

In a statement, Swiss diamond house Mouawad said the Flower of Eternity Jewellery Coffer was made of 18-karat gold and silver.

It features white and yellow diamonds, white and pink sapphires and lapis lazuli and its three heart-shaped petals are meant to symbolize eternal love.

Mouawad also holds the record for world’s most valuable necklace ($55 million), handbag ($3.8 million) and lingerie (an $11 million bra), but these pieces are not on display in Doha.
