shoe is crafted from platinum while the plaque is pure gold. The remainder of
these shoes is made of leather but feature 24-carat gold paint. 18-carat gold
threat for used to stitch this priceless pair.
Harry Winston Ruby Slippers
In 1989, Harry
Winston’s son Ronald Wilson wanted to pay tribute to the 50th anniversary of
“The Wizard of Oz.” After two months of placing 4,600 rubies on the slippers,
the House of Harry Winston debuted its own rendition of the iconic shoe.
The pair features
1,350 carats of rubies and 50 carats of diamonds; it’s valued at $3.01 million.
These ruby slippers were breathtaking to behold. Winston’s version of the
famous and even iconic ruby slippers boasted the encrustment of 4,600
gemstones, which made his slippers much more opulent and glittery in the light.
When you get closer you can see that the combination of rubies and diamonds.
Stuart Weitzman Rita Hayworth Heel
$3 million
These beauties are
worth a staggering $3 million looking at the brilliant color. The shoe belongs
to Hayworth’s daughter, Princess Yasmin Aga Khan. While Stuart Weitzman is
known for his creative and outlandish use of brilliant colors, the Hayworth
Heels are a more toned down and mature look. They’re made from an incredibly
burnt sienna or rust brown colored satin. This unusual color choice was likely
inspired by the gown worn by Kathleen York or by Rita Hayworth herself. Either
way, it certainly makes for a stunning and unique heel.

year to complete, and it was totally worth it. Later on these shoes were
donated to the charity.

18 century. The embellishments on this
