A mouth and nose mask is no longer just effective protection in the fight against the pandemic. It has also become a fashion accessory. It was already part of the new collections at London Fashion Week in February.

Now a businessman from Shanghai apparently even wants to turn the mask into a status symbol in the corona crisis: A jeweler in Israel claims to be working on a face covering worth 1.5 million dollars, which the man from China is said to have ordered. According to the jewelry designer, it is the most expensive mask in the world.

It should be made of 18-carat gold and set with around 3,600 diamonds, said Sharon Caro, an employee of the Yvel company, the dpa news agency. 25 jewelers and diamond setters are planned to work on the mask.

"The customer had three wishes: It should be the most expensive mask in the world, be ready by December 31, and comply with the norm," said Caro. In the mask, a replaceable filter of the type N99 should provide protection against the corona virus.
