In addition to these two guitars, there is also a diamond-gold toilet.

On the bullet-proof glass toilet panel, 40,815 diamonds are inlaid with a total diamond weight of 334.68 calories. Together with the gold-plated toilet, it has been certified as the "Most Diamond Toilet" by the Guinness Record.

Apply for Guinness record to start Hong Kong jewelry brand

Shen Yunlong, the founder of Gupper and the museum, who has 40 years of jewelry experience and is known as the "Prince of the Middle East", said that he was not reconciled to the exquisite craftsmanship of the Hong Kong jewelry industry, but there have always been only famous jewelry stores, but no local jewelry brands.

Determined to establish Guan Linglong, a local jewelry brand.

In order to become famous, I applied for Guinness World Records certification to gain international popularity. After 5 to 6 years of preparations, only 10 exhibits were certified by Guinness World Records. Many difficulties were encountered during the application process, such as Guinness World Records. Practicality is required, for example, "The Most Valuable Guitar" must be able to play in order to be awarded a certificate.

Hope that the museum will break the unattainable image of diamonds

Since the establishment of a private museum in 2019, until the first opening to the public in June of this year, Shen Yunlong opened the Guinness World Record collection of diamonds for display, first to build a brand story, and second, to narrow the distance between the public and diamonds and integrate diamonds In daily life, we provide a variety of souvenirs that are affordable and commonplace, such as the "most valuable guitar" USB, mobile phone cases with diamonds and sunglasses.

Shen Yunlong said that he did not want diamonds to be unattainable, and hoped that the general public would have access to it. It turned out that this idea was related to the birth of a "subdivided house boy". When he was a child, he lived in a 500-foot subdivided house with 20 people, but he was confident that he could not study. When you get the opportunity to become the "Prince of the Middle East," you can make a career and success in the local area.

Shen Yunlong hopes to cooperate with art, culture and tourist attractions in Tsim Sha Tsui to build a museum into one of the local tourist attractions. He welcomes chambers of commerce, academic groups, and a family of young and old to visit.

However, due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the museum has been closed until the epidemic eases before the museum will be reopened.
