Luxury sex shop Coco de Mer has developed a £12,000 gold-plated sex toy called the ‘Nell Pleasure Seed’.

The limited edition piece of bedroom technology is designed in the shape of the coco de mer seed - the oddly-shaped seed that the erotic shop is named after.

The toy has five different vibration settings at different levels of intensity and comes in a lockable wooden box.

If you don't have a spare £12,000, Coco de Mer offers a non-gold version of the toy for £220. Or Ann Summers will probably sort you out with a buzzing buddy for a tenth of the price.

If you want something more high-tech, you could always hold out for the futuristic Crescendo programmable vibrator.

While the gold Pleasure Seed is the most expensive toy you can buy off the shelf, you can of course spend even more if you commission a one-off.

Australian jewellery designer has developed a million dollar dildo, made with diamonds, sapphires and sea pearls - but you’d have to get it made up on commission.
