One company is taking bling to extremes with its new offering, the 24-carat gold MP3 player.

Jens of Sweden is responsible for this creation, reports the Straits Times.

The Excentrique MP-400 weighs 34 grams and has a 1GB memory and a 20-hour battery life in addition to an FM radio.

However, unlike other MP3 players, this one is made of solid gold and worn around the neck as a decorative pendant albeit a fully functioning one.

Costing $1,100 this MP3 player epitomises the flashy music business where the latest in technology is joined with the exclusivity of gold.
