As reported by London's Daily Telegrah:
The bra, which also boasts white diamonds and rubies, weighs 1,500 carats and is believed to be one of the most valuable items of underwear ever made.
Two tear-shaped black diamonds, with a combined weight of 100 carats, hang down from the middle.
The one-off bra - which contains 3,900 gems in total - is modeled by Brazilian Adriana Lima in the Victoria's Secret Christmas catalogue.
It was created by Martin Katz, the rare gem jeweler who has worked on previous luxury lingerie for the firm.
"This year, I've really enjoyed working with non-traditional gems," he said. "So, what better avenue, to showcase nearly 3,600 black diamonds than on the most extravagant holiday gift."
He added: "Designing it for a gorgeous Brazilian supermodel wasn't exactly a let-down either."
Don't hate Mr. Katz because he's one of the luckiest jewelers on the face of the earth. Ms. Lima will be modeling the Fantasy Bra during this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show December 3rd, this year from a new location in Miami. And now, a few words from the wonderfully accented (in more ways than one) Ms. Lima:
If you'd like to make the fantasy a reality, by all means, contact Vicky's.
For what else Ms. Lima and Victoria's Secret have up their non-existant sleeves to make your holidays even brighter (if that's possible), watch for a future Lingerie Blog post.
