Designer Isaac Levy said that the platinum mask of 18 carat will be decorated with 3,600 white diamonds and black diamonds, and its virus protection ability will reach N99 level at the request of the buyer. After the production, it will weigh 270 grams, which is 100 times that of ordinary surgical masks.
Levy, the boss of Yvel, said that the buyer has two other requirements: it should be completed before the end of this year, and it should be the highest price in the world. The last condition, he said, "is the easiest to achieve." The company refused to disclose the identity of the buyer, but said it was a China businessman living in the United States.

Levy said: "Money may not buy everything, but at the moment when coronavirus is rampant, if you walk around wearing the world's most expensive coronavirus pneumonia-19 mask, it will definitely attract widespread attention and feel cool."
Levi said that although he can't wear it, he thanked the buyer for giving him this opportunity: "I am very happy that this mask has provided us with enough jobs, so that we can provide certain jobs for our employees in such a difficult period!"
