The $230,000 Stilettos Made Almost Entirely Out of Gold and Diamonds

I love sparkly shoes as much as the next girl but whoa, how’s this for some serious bling (and some really in your face luxury):

Luxury jeweler House of Borgezie creates $230,000 stilettos made of gold, 2000+ diamonds

The $230,000 Eternal Borgezie Diamond Stiletto – costs more than your entire wardrobe for three lifetimes

Luxury jeweler House of Borgezie has created stilettos that cost $230,000 per pair.  Dubbed the Eternal Borgezie Diamond Stiletto, the bespoke shoe, which comes with a 1,000 year guarantee, is comprised almost entirely of diamonds and gold.

Each shoe is first handcrafted by a goldsmith and then handed off to a diamond setter, who encrusts the shoe “with over 2,200 individual sparkling diamonds.”  Total diamond bling factor: 30 carats.

The company declares that it has “created perfection” with these shoes and likens them to other “perfect” creations like the Faberge Egg, the Bugatti Veyron and the Mask of Tutankhamun.

The shoe’s designer, Christopher Michael Shellis, told the Daily Mail that he spent three years developing the shoe.

“To bring the Eternal Diamond Stiletto to life, I quite literally had to reinvent the fundamental principle of classical stiletto construction,” Shellis told the Daily Mail.

“The result is not so much a shoe, but rather a fine piece of jewelry that can be miraculously yet practically worn as the ultimate feminine adornment.”

So who’s going to sport these jewelry-cum-shoe confections?  While the client list is confidential, the Daily Mail reveals that A-listers from the worlds of music, modeling and sports are on the list.

So who do you think will be first to wear these ultra luxurious pair of shoes? NYDailyNews guesses it’s going to be Victoria Beckham but I want it to be someone even more outrageous and out-of-her-mind crazy. I want to say Lady Gaga but I know this design is too tame for her, so I’ll just go with my second but much tamer guess which is Sarah Jessica Parker. (If these shoes were created before “Sex and The City 2″, you know SJP would be all over these and wear these shoes to the premieres.)

You know what accessories would go well with these shoes? The Victoria’s Secret $15 million Red Hot Fantasy Bra that’s strewn with diamonds and rubies, The $187,000 gold and diamond iPad, and maybe the $60,000 diamond encrusted earphone covers thrown into the mix in case the other stuff don’t provide enough sparkle.

As expensive as they are, I find the design of the Eternal Borgezie Diamond Stilettos a tad too simple. It’s not really as jaw-dropping as the price tag. I guess it’s tough to work with such precious materials, but I bet there are sparklier and cheaper (!) shoes out there that are more wowing than these overpriced stilettos. Stay tuned for the next post.
