Say hello to the £100,000 shoes

01/07/2010
Luxury jewellery brand House of Borgezie has created a shoe made almost entirely from gold and diamonds that it plans to sell for £100,000 per pair.

The new shoes, the Eternal Borgezie Diamond Stiletto, come with a 1,000-year guarantee. Their creator, Christopher Michael Shellis, has explained that each shoe is first handcrafted by a goldsmith and then encrusted with more than 2,000 diamonds.

Mr Shellis said he had spent three years developing the shoe, and that he felt he had "quite literally had to reinvent the fundamental principle of classical stiletto construction".
