G’ACE International Unveils Opulent iPhone 18 Pro Editions in Ho Chi Minh City
On Thursday, the luxury artisanal brand G’ACE International, based in Ho Chi Minh City, unveiled an exquisite collection of bespoke iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max editions.
Distinguished from conventional smartphone offerings, this collection caters to affluent clientele intent on transforming their technological devices into magnificent, personalized works of art.
According to the pricing revealed by G’ACE International, the standard G’ACE Prime editions are offered at prices ranging from VND143 million ($5,500) to upward of VND200 million ($7,690), dependent on storage size and chosen coating material.
Specialty editions, specifically the Guan Yu and Imperial Dragon, command prices between VND289 million ($11,130) and VND309 million ($11,890), a sum comparable to that of a high-performance motorcycle or roughly a dozen standard iPhones.
The bespoke smartphones maintain eligibility for hardware warranty coverage, and their exterior finishes are subject to routine refurbishment.
Despite their exclusivity, the collection underscores the persistent allure of customized technology among Vietnam’s elite consumers.

Customization of the iPhone 18 Pro: Gold and Diamonds
The zenith of the collection, the G’ACE Prime, is restricted to a mere 199 units globally.
One of the most striking alterations is found on the rear panel, where a trillion-cut gemstone is elegantly placed at the heart of the triple-camera module.
The artisan company articulates that the design reflects the Eastern philosophical concept of the five elements, allowing patrons to select gemstones that resonate with their elemental affinities.
- White diamonds for Metal
- Emeralds for Wood
- Blue or black sapphires for Water
- Red rubies for Fire
- Yellow sapphires for Earth
At the pinnacle, the Master Diamond edition, limited to just 10 pieces, incorporates an HPHT (high pressure, high temperature) diamond weighing approximately 0.6 carats.
This diamond must be meticulously cut from a nearly two-carat round stone to achieve the precise proportions of an equilateral triangle measuring 6.3 mm on each side, a process that results in considerable material loss in pursuit of geometric perfection.
The customization extends well beyond mere aesthetic enhancements; it encompasses an overarching modification of the device’s exterior.
The unibody aluminum frame is exquisitely finished with a mirror polish available in 24K gold, 18K rose gold, or platinum. Furthermore, the standard glass back is supplanted with either lustrous stainless steel or brushed titanium.
Additionally, the Apple logo and various functional buttons, including the Action button, are adorned with genuine diamonds or natural mother-of-pearl.
In tandem with the Prime series, G’ACE International has also launched two culturally inspired collections, the Guan Yu, limited to 16 units, and the Imperial Dragon, restricted to 99 units.
