This kept coming up when I was searching earlier.
https://www.thels.co/st-dupont-haute-creation/st-dupont-haute-creation-the-worlds-most-luxurious-mahjong-set
A hand-made high-end mahjong tile-set priced at 795k UKP (currently over one million US$).
The tiles and dice are made from solid ruby ("carving it represents a challenging endeavor in which only the gifted and strong of body and mind achieve success"!) - with inset diamonds and rubies - and the chips are mother-of-pearl, all enclosed in gold vermeil.
This auction-house listing for the same shows the plain but nicely curved case. Mahogany with ebony veneer of course.

Kinda fancy!
No red fives though so you'll have to hand-paint them.
