(July 3, '07, 8:12 IDEX Online Staff Reporter)
Running out of places to put some sparkle? Kickbars, a start-up company based in Southern California, has come up with a product to add some glitter to shoes. They are selling a jewel-encrusted clip that can be threaded through shoelaces or worn as a bracelet or necklace.

 

The "basic" Kickbars are made of white gold and contain 108 G/VS1 round cut diamonds, totaling 2 carats, per pair. The basic model retails for around $7,500.

 

For those who like a little more color in their lives, the bars are available with pink sapphires, emeralds and even an assortment of colored diamonds, which all retail at "current market value." 

 

If you love the idea of diamonds on your shoes, but cannot afford to splurge, the Kickbars also come in "junior' versions. These models contain fewer diamonds – around 76 stones for a total weight of 1.5 carats.
