If I should die before I wake It's 'cause you took my breath away Losing you is like living in a world with no air Oh
I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave My heart won't move, it's incomplete Wish there was a way that I can make you understand
Yes, there is a kind of love that can leave you breathless or take away your breath for a moment. You would be left gasping for air! Gosh! Have you had that kind of experience?

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Security was tight at the W Hotels Arrival Lounge at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York where iconic fashion designer Betsey Johnson unveiled for the first time in the U.S. arguably the world's most expensive spirits container: a Chambord® bottle fashioned with $3 million worth of diamonds, gold and pearls.
Designed by international jeweler Donald Edge, the appearance of the incomparable 'Chambord by Donald Edge' bottle at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week was the latest stop on a worldwide tour that has taken the bottle to London and Berlin.

According to Edge, the unforgettable Chambord orb bottle is decorated with more than 60 carats worth of diamonds including 1,100 round brilliant cut diamonds, pear cut diamonds, a square cut emerald diamond, the finest round pearls and hand-wrought eighteen-carat yellow gold.

"Our 'Pink Your Drink' program throughout the year revolves around raising funds and awareness for breast cancer, so it was natural to tie into this very fashionable occasion and very fashionable designer."
According to Hayes, the 'Chambord by Donald Edge' bottle is currently being valued by the Guinness World Records to determine if it is indeed the world's most expensive spirits container. He jokingly added that the answer to the most frequently asked question about the bottle is, "Yes, it's for sale."
