Decking out your smartphone with gold and other precious materials has become increasingly popular of late, and Microsoft wants in on the action. The company has announced that the Lumia 930 and Lumia 830 will soon be offered in a gold edition. By that, I mean the smartphones will come in black or white with a gold trim finish.

Microsoft has leapt on the bling bandwagon with the launch of a gold edition of its flagship Lumia 930 smartphone, as well as one for its recently unveiled Lumia 830. Announced back in April, the Lumia 930 was one of the first devices built specifically for Windows Phone 8.1, and already shipped in a number of bright colors, including green, orange, and white. Now, you can add gold to that list too. The Lumia 830, on the other hand, was announced just a few months back, and is designed to cater for the mid-range smartphone market. The phones aren’t entirely caked in gold, however. They come in black or white variants, with a gold trim finishing touch.
