An Austrian goldsmith has sold a plastic vuvuzela studded with white gold and diamonds to a Russian businessman, Times LIVE reported on Thursday.
The Linz-based goldsmith, Klemens Pointer, told the Austrian public broadcaster ORF that the Russian planned to give the horn to his South African business partner for the World Cup final on July 11, RIA Novosti reported.
He also said that the vuvuzela, worth $21,000, is just as loud as cheaper versions.
The noise-making one-meter vuvuzela horns have become a symbol of the World Cup in South Africa.
