When a gold D&G Moto V3 just doesn't say 'bling' enough, it's time to employ more extreme methods.

And while we would never condone such gadget cruelty, the folks at Carphone Warehouse are offering a new 'Bling My Thing' service.

Simply drop off your humdrum handset in store, borrow a loan phone for a few days, then return to find yours coated from earpiece to mouthpiece in crystal and diamanté, all hand set by the folks at Swarovski – very Paris Hilton.

There's a range of designs to choose from or, for extra exclusivity, pen your own. And should it start to break up, there's a handy repair kit with extra crystals in. Hey, practical and stylish.
