WELL–HEELED: WORLD’S MOST EXPENSIVE SHOES WORTH £276,000
Here’s a pair of shoes that really are fit for a princess, and with a price tag of more than £276,000, they are the most expensive shoes in the world. The process involved hours of surgeon-like precision using tweezers and a special adhesive to painstakingly attach the diamonds to the shoe, one by one. Simply called ‘the Diamond shoe’, Kiwi designer Kathryn Wilson masterminded the glamorous shoe with the help of Sarah Hutchings of Auckland’s Orsini Fine Jewellery. It took more than 50 hours to make the exclusive shoes, which are made up of 21.18 carats of quality diamonds, lace, embellishments and a Kathryn Wilson shoe..
