Pele’s hair turned into diamonds for superfans

PELE has unveiled an unusual line of diamonds using strands of the football legend’s own hair ahead of the World Cup in June.

The diamonds are made using a high-pressure, high-temperature process during which strands of Pele’s hair are charred. The limited edition includes 1,283 diamonds — one for each of the champ’s goals.

The gems cost about US$7,500 a piece and come in a gold-plated box featuring the Brazilian legend on the pitch scoring a goal.
