The Eternal Borgezie Diamond Stilettos were designed by Christopher Michael Shellis and were handcrafted by a team of goldsmiths and stone setters who work at the House of Borgezie.
The patent pending shoe design features a stamen fluted heel, which draws its inspiration from the elegant stamens of a lily.
According to the House of Borgezie website, a pair of diamond stilettos retails from £100,000 or $155,000. If that seems like a lot of money for a pair of shoes, don't worry, they come with a 1,000 year guarantee.
The gold shoes have been assayed and hallmarked by the Birmingham Assay Office.
