Leronza Prime Collection: Which Gold Phones Each Design Comes On, and What It Costs

Most people who buy a gold phone from Leronza fall for a design first and choose the phone second. Someone sees the leaping jaguar of Imperial or the baroque roses of Flora, then asks: can I have that on a Samsung? On a foldable? On the iPhone I already own? The product pages answer that one device at a time. This guide answers it for the whole Prime collection, Leronza’s core range of patterned and plain gold designs. It shows which designs are made for which phones, how each design is adapted to each device, what changes in the hardware, and what each combination costs today.

Every price below is pulled live from the Leronza catalogue when the page loads, so the tables stay current as prices move.

What “Prime” Means at Leronza

Leronza sorts its phone designs into collections: Prime, Rhodium, Mother of Pearl, Exotic Leather, Carbon Fiber, Evil Eye, Ecstasy and Classic. Each line has its own set, and not every collection is offered on every phone. Prime is the one built purely from plated metal. There is no leather, shell, carbon or coloured enamel, just a replacement back panel in 24K Gold, Rose Gold or Platinum, either left plain or worked into a pattern. The product descriptions call Elite “the calm centre of our Prime collection” and Flora its “decorative heart”, and that sums up the range: one plain design, one nameplate design, and a group of patterned designs from floral to geometric to figurative.

Every Prime phone starts from a genuine Apple or Samsung device. On the iPhone 18 Pro pages Leronza says the displays, cameras, battery and internals “are Apple’s own and are never opened”. The Samsung pages say the same about the S Pen, the 200MP camera, Galaxy AI and software updates. The customisation is on the outside.

Which Prime Designs Exist on Which Phone

This is the table the product pages can’t give you: every Prime design down the side, every phone line across the top. Click a column heading to open that line’s Prime collection.

Design iPhone 17 Pro iPhone 18 Pro iPhone Air iPhone Duo Galaxy S26 Ultra Galaxy Z Fold8 Z Fold8 Ultra Gold iPhone case

Three patterns stand out:

  • Elite, Imperial and Flora are the only designs offered on every phone line and as a case. If you want the same design on an iPhone and a Galaxy, or a matching pair for two people with different phones, start with these three.
  • Signature, Noble and Bitcoin are Apple-only. They’re made for the iPhone 17 Pro, 18 Pro, Air and Duo, but not for any Samsung and not as a case.
  • Prestige Link is Samsung-only, and Pyramid is mainly a Samsung design. On the Apple side, Pyramid is only made for the iPhone Air and as a case.

The Designs, One by One

Elite: plain polished metal

Elite has no pattern. You get a mirror-polished plated back with a small GoldPrivé mark. The product copy calls it “the natural canvas for engraving”, and the Samsung, Fold8 Ultra and Duo pages all describe the blank back as space for initials, a name or a company logo. Elite is the lowest-priced Prime design on every phone line and in the case range. If you care more about the metal than the motif, this is the obvious choice.

Imperial: the jaguar

Imperial is the only Prime design built around a figure. On the iPhone 18 Pro, a gold jaguar leaps across a pale centre panel with textured metal above and below. On the iPhone Air, the Galaxy S26 Ultra and both Fold8 models, the jaguar sits on a pale or white-metal chevron, framed by a hobnail or pyramid texture. The case uses the same idea: a panther on a smooth panel over a fine grid. It’s the most recognisable Prime design from across a room, and it’s made for every phone line.

Flora: baroque roses

Flora is the most ornate engraving in the range. Roses, leaves and scrolling tendrils run across the whole back. On the iPhone Air a polished chevron band crosses the florals, on the S26 Ultra a chevron band and slim side rails border them, and on the Z Fold8 a single polished band runs across them. On the iPhone 18 Pro the scrollwork continues around the camera plateau. The Flora product pages also point out that engraved metal hides fingerprints far better than a polished surface. That’s a real day-to-day difference from Elite.

Artisan: faceted lattice

Artisan is sculpted rather than engraved. The back is a raised lattice of angled facets, which the pages describe as “the most tactile design in the Prime collection”. It gives real grip and hides small marks. It’s made for the four Apple lines, the Z Fold8 Ultra and as a case, but not the S26 Ultra or the standard Z Fold8.

Pyramid: hobnail texture

Pyramid covers the back in tiny raised four-sided points, the hobnail texture metalworkers have used for centuries, broken by one smooth chevron plate held at its corners. It feels as distinctive as it looks. It’s made for the iPhone Air, all three Samsung lines and as a case.

Le Lion Fleur: lion medallion

A sculpted lion’s head sits in a raised medallion with baroque scrollwork spreading out around it. The product copy notes that founders and family heads are drawn to it because of the lion’s heraldic meaning. It’s made for the iPhone 17 Pro, 18 Pro and Duo, and as a case.

Signature: your name as the design

Signature turns the back into a nameplate. Your name, monogram, family crest or company logo is engraved large across the centre, “at a size that reads across a boardroom table”, in the product’s own words. Elite can take a small engraving. Signature is built around one. It’s made for the four Apple lines only.

Noble: texture and contrast

Noble has no figure, flower or stone, just proportion. A textured centre band of precious metal runs between two pale contrast panels. It’s architectural rather than ornamental and gives grip where your fingers rest. It’s Apple-only.

Bitcoin: the coin

A large coin with the ₿ symbol is engraved at the centre, with circuit traces running outward. Leronza is clear on the product page that this is a themed design, not a wallet: “It holds no keys and stores no assets.” It’s Apple-only, and Leronza does accept cryptocurrency among its payment methods.

Prestige Link: the curb chain

Prestige Link lays a heavy curb chain down the right-hand side of a mirror-polished back, like a bracelet resting on a tray. Panel and chain are plated together in one metal. It’s made only for the Galaxy S26 Ultra, Z Fold8 and Z Fold8 Ultra.

Live Prices: Every Prime Design on Every Phone

Each cell shows the live starting price for that design on that phone. Each product page then goes up with model size (Pro or Pro Max on the 17 Pro and 18 Pro) and storage. On all of them, 24K Gold, Rose Gold and Platinum cost the same. We checked this against every variation of the Imperial pages: the metal never changes the price.

From iPhone 17 Pro iPhone 18 Pro iPhone Air iPhone Duo S26 Ultra Z Fold8 Z Fold8 Ultra Case
Elite $ 3,490 $ 3,590 $ 3,390 $ 4,190 $ 3,560 $ 4,090 $ 6,450 $ 1,390

Two things to notice. First, within most lines the patterned designs share one starting price, and Elite sits below them. So on most phones, picking Flora over Artisan, or Pyramid over Prestige Link, is a matter of taste, not budget. Second, the phone you choose moves the price far more than the design you choose. Going from Elite to a patterned design on the same phone is a small step. Moving the same design from an iPhone Air or S26 Ultra to a Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is a much bigger one, as the next table shows.

Worked Example: One Design, Every Budget

Imperial is made for every line, so it’s the clearest way to see what the device adds. Here’s the full live range, from the cheapest configuration to the most expensive, for the jaguar on each phone and as a case.

Imperial on… From Up to What the range covers
Gold iPhone case $ 1,590 $ 1,690 Case only, cut for your iPhone (14 Pro to 18 Pro Max)
iPhone Air $ 3,990 $ 4,590 256GB, 512GB or 1TB
Galaxy S26 Ultra $ 4,090 $ 4,690 256GB, 512GB or 1TB
iPhone 17 Pro / Pro Max $ 4,090 $ 5,490 Pro or Pro Max, up to 2TB on Pro Max
iPhone 18 Pro / Pro Max $ 4,190 $ 5,990 Pro or Pro Max, 256GB to 2TB
Galaxy Z Fold8 $ 4,590 $ 5,290 256GB, 512GB or 1TB
iPhone Duo $ 4,890 $ 6,390 256GB to 2TB
Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra $ 7,430 $ 7,860 256GB, 512GB or 1TB

For one design that’s a wide spread, from a case you fit to your own iPhone up to the flagship Samsung foldable. In practice it gives you three ways to own Imperial:

Lowest outlayThe Imperial case on an iPhone you already own. You keep wireless charging whenever the case is off.
Flat phoneiPhone Air, S26 Ultra, 17 Pro or 18 Pro. The design covers the back and the frame is plated to match.
FoldableZ Fold8 or iPhone Duo. The design on the back of a book-style phone, with frame and hinge left factory-original.
Top of rangeZ Fold8 Ultra, the largest canvas, at the top of the Prime price ladder.

Same Design, Different Device: What Actually Changes

A Prime design isn’t a sticker copied from one phone to another. The motif is redrawn for each back, and the way Leronza handles the rest of the phone depends on whether it folds.

Flat phones: back and frame

On the iPhone 17 Pro, 18 Pro, iPhone Air and Galaxy S26 Ultra, the back panel is replaced and the frame is plated in the same metal. The product pages describe this as making “the edges, buttons and camera plateau read as one piece” (iPhone 18 Pro) and “sides and back read as one piece” (S26 Ultra). The result is a phone that looks gold from every angle.

Foldables: back only

On the iPhone Duo, Galaxy Z Fold8 and Z Fold8 Ultra, only the rear panel is replaced. The frame and hinge are left as Apple or Samsung made them. The Fold8 Ultra page explains why: a foldable depends on its hinge opening smoothly and closing flush for years. The edges stay in the factory finish, and the design does all the work on the back.

The layout also adapts. Imperial’s jaguar sits on a pale centre panel on the iPhone 18 Pro and on a white-metal chevron band on the Air and the Samsungs. Flora’s roses are crossed by a polished chevron on the Air, bordered by a chevron band and side rails on the S26 Ultra, and crossed by one polished band on the Z Fold8. Before you order, look at the product photos for the exact phone you want, not a different phone in the same design.

What every Prime phone gives up. A solid metal back blocks wireless charging on every device in this guide. iPhones lose MagSafe and Qi2 and charge over USB-C, while Face ID, Apple Pay and iOS updates work as normal, according to the product pages. Samsung phones lose wireless charging and Samsung Wallet tap-to-pay, because the NFC signal can’t pass through the metal. If you tap to pay with a Galaxy every day, weigh this before choosing a Samsung over an iPhone. For more on the iPhone side, see which gold iPhone 18 Pro designs keep MagSafe and Qi2. (No Prime design does.)

Getting a Prime Design Without Buying a New Phone

There are two routes if you’d rather keep the phone you have.

  • A Prime case. Elite, Imperial, Flora, Artisan, Pyramid and Le Lion Fleur all come as gold iPhone cases. Each one is plated at 5–7 microns, marked GOLDPRIVÉ at the base and cut for the specific model you name, from iPhone 14 Pro to 18 Pro Max. Wireless charging won’t pass through the case, so charge by cable or take it off. Our gold iPhone case guide covers the full case range.
  • Send in your own phone. Several Prime product pages, including those for the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone Air, S26 Ultra, Z Fold8 and Z Fold8 Ultra, list a “Use my own device” option next to the new-device configurations. How that works, from courier to return, is in our send-in guide. To decide which route suits you, read customise your own or buy ready-made.

How to Choose: A Short Decision Guide

  • You want the same design on an iPhone and a Galaxy (a pair of gifts, or one phone for work and one personal): choose Elite, Imperial or Flora. They’re the only designs on every line.
  • You want the phone to carry a name or logo: Signature on an Apple phone. On Samsung, choose Elite, whose plain back the product pages describe as open for engraving.
  • You want grip and a back that hides marks: Artisan, Pyramid or Noble, all textured by design. Flora’s engraving also hides fingerprints better than a polished surface.
  • You want the lowest price in a given line: Elite, which starts below the patterned designs on every phone and in the case range.
  • You use Samsung Wallet tap-to-pay daily: an iPhone keeps Apple Pay. A plated Galaxy gives up tap-to-pay.
  • You like the design more than the phone: start with the case table above. It’s the lowest-cost way into Elite, Imperial, Flora, Artisan, Pyramid or Le Lion Fleur.

Ordering, Payment and Aftercare

Every Prime piece is made to order in Leronza’s Dubai atelier, with customisation typically taking about one to two weeks. You can pay a 50% deposit or pay in full (see all payment methods). Shipping is complimentary, insured and tracked, and a signature is required on delivery. Because each piece is made to order, it can’t be returned, so check the product photos for your exact device before you order. The customisation carries a two-year warranty. What it covers and what voids it is set out in our warranty explainer. If you’re comparing Prime with Leronza’s other collections, the iPhone collections overview and the Evil Eye collection guide are good next reads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Prime designs are available on every Leronza phone?

Elite, Imperial and Flora. They’re made for the iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone Air, iPhone Duo, Galaxy S26 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, and also as a gold iPhone case. Signature, Noble and Bitcoin are Apple-only, and Prestige Link is Samsung-only.

Does a Prime design look identical on every phone?

No. The motif is redrawn for each device. Imperial’s jaguar, for example, sits on a pale centre panel on the iPhone 18 Pro and on a white-metal chevron band on the iPhone Air and Samsung models. Flat phones also get a plated frame, while on foldables (iPhone Duo, Z Fold8, Z Fold8 Ultra) the frame and hinge are left factory-original.

Does choosing 24K Gold, Rose Gold or Platinum change the price?

No. All three metals are the same price on every Prime product. The price changes with the phone line, the model size and the storage you choose, not the metal.

Can I get a Prime design without buying a new phone?

Yes. Elite, Imperial, Flora, Artisan, Pyramid and Le Lion Fleur come as gold iPhone cases cut for iPhone 14 Pro to 18 Pro Max, starting from $ 1,390. Several Prime product pages also offer a “Use my own device” option, explained in Leronza’s send-in guide.

Do wireless charging and tap-to-pay work on a Prime phone?

Wireless charging doesn’t work on any Prime phone, because the metal back blocks it, so charging is by USB-C. On iPhones, Apple Pay, Face ID and iOS updates work as normal. On Samsung models, Samsung Wallet tap-to-pay is also unavailable, because the NFC signal can’t pass through the plated back.
