14 DAY TRIAL // If you’re into the fine things in life (and by that we mean the fine things), a new diamond shoe even Cinderella would kill for is up for grabs. Created by Kathryn Wilson, it’s the priciest item of this kind ever created in New Zealand.
Since only last week we were talking about the world’s most expensive dress being shown to the public for the first time, in all its black diamond glory, today is the time to see the most expensive shoe in New Zealand.
Alas, it’s with white diamonds and not black. You will have to see how you accessorize.
It’s made with $500,000 (€388,289) worth of diamonds and represents the culmination of the efforts of shoe designer Kathryn Wilson and Sarah Hutchings of Orsini Fine Jewellery, Stuff.co.nz writes.
It’s more than fashion and beyond jewelry, being labeled as a one of a kind work of art.
“The process involved hours of surgeon-like precision using tweezers and a special adhesive,” the e-zine says.
“The result will be for sale in a silent auction at Wilson's 2013 autumn/winter collection launch in Auckland on Thursday,” adds the same media outlet.
Other items will also be featured in the silent auction, with all proceeds from it going to the Ronald McDonald House, notes the publication.
Speaking to the press about her eccentric creation, Wilson says she created it thinking of the item she would most like to own.
“[It] appeals to the princess inside me and, I'm sure, most girls out there,” she says.
With such an impressive price tag, we have serious doubts “most girls out there” would even dare to dream of wearing such an amazing creation slash work of art.
“Like most women, I have a lifelong love of shoes. And the opportunity to collaborate with Kathryn Wilson, using my passion for fine gemstones, was too incredible to pass up,” Hutchings chimes in.
