All bathtubs are not created equal—and Baldi Home Jewels makes some of the most impressive (and expensive) in the world. The made-to-order tubs produced by the 150-year-old Florentine brand are each crafted from a single boulder of crystal found in the Amazon jungle. These rocks, each of which weighs more than 10,000kg, are transported to Italy, cut in half, then whittled into shape by hand by a team of local artisans. Tamara Ecclestone is said to have ordered a particularly opulent bath with diamond-studded gold taps. Prices are rumoured to start at around US$1 million.

Bath Diamond

Friends Wayne Chang, Allen Chang and Michael Shir were night kayaking when, suddenly, the water lit up all around them. What they witnessed was a bloom of bioluminescent plankton—microscopic creatures that sometimes sparkle blue and green on the surface of the sea. Fascinated, the trio set out to research the phenomenon and, now, are bringing the experience to the comfort of your own bathtub. Their bath bomb, Bath Diamond, releases antioxidant-packed natural oils and bioluminescent luciferin and luciferase into your tub, creating a skin-soothing, nutrient-rich bath that glows like the sea the founders kayaked through. Just remember to turn off the lights.
