(IDEX Online News) - A Birmingham, UK-based designer has created a pair of gold and diamond high heeled shoes, perfect for a flashy night out on the town. The shoes are made of solid gold or platinum and are encrusted with 2,200 brilliant cut diamonds totaling 30 carats.
The Eternal Borgezie Diamond Stilettos were designed by Christopher Michael Shellis and were handcrafted by a team of goldsmiths and stone setters who work at the House of Borgezie.
The patent pending shoe design features a stamen fluted heel, which draws its inspiration from the elegant stamens of a lily.
According to the House of Borgezie website, a pair of diamond stilettos retails from £100,000 or $155,000 and comes with a 1,000 year guarantee.
The gold shoes have been assayed and hallmarked by the Birmingham Assay Office.
