Timed to coincide with the build-up to the World Cup in Brazil, Pele has joined forces with Brazilian jewellers Brilho Infinito to produce a limited edition run of incredibly personal statuettes.
We say incredibly personal as the statuettes are actually created using Pele's DNA -- his hair to be precise -- with each of the 1,283 figurines adorned with a one-carat diamond made from carbon extracted from a strand of the legendary former Santos striker's hair.

"Why 1,283?" we hear you cry.
Well, it's not quite as random as it seems, with each of the figurines sequentially dedicated to each of Pele's 1,283 career goals.
For example, statue No. 1 represents Pele's first-ever goal for Santos in a friendly against Corinthians in 1956 and statue No. 1,283 represents his final "official" goal scored during a commemorative friendly game in Brazil in 1983.
Oh, and for the record, if you were thinking about splashing out on your very own "Pele hair diamond" ahead of the festivities in Brazil this summer, you're going to have to have a spare $7,500 to fritter away.
