Gold And Diamond Stilettos

A British jeweler has created a $155,000 pair of stiletto heels made almost entirely of gold and diamonds.

The Eternal Borgezie Diamond Stiletto shoes, designed by Christopher Michael Shellis for jeweler House of Borgezie, are made of gold and more than 2,200 individual diamonds, the New York Daily News reported Wednesday.

"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."
