* The World's First $1 Million Ice Cream Cone arrived in Philadelphia on November 30, marking the last stop on its U.S. tour that began in June. The cone, designed to replicate Bruster's Real Ice Cream signature cherry vanilla ice cream waffle cone, was displayed exclusively at Robbins Diamonds flagship store at 8th & Walnut Sts. The gold and jeweled cone was created by the internationally-renowned diamond manufacturer, Lazare Kaplan International, and consists of nearly 20 troy ounces of 18k white and yellow gold, more than 630 diamonds including 548 round Lazare Diamonds, 87 Lazare square emerald cut diamonds, one 5.63 carat Fancy Intense Yellow radiant cut diamond, and has a 152.16-carat total weight. The $I Million Ice Cream Cone headed to Japan after its stay in Philadelphia and will be put up for auction in early 2008, with Bruster's proceeds being donated to the charity.
