World’s first solid platinum stilettos

If you thought Christian Louboutin shoes were expensive, think again. Meet the world’s first ever pair of platinum stilettos – all yours, for an eye-watering £70,000.

The Borgezie Platinum Cleopatra Stiletto makes most luxury brands’ designs appear positively High Street in comparison.

The range has been created by bespoke jewellers House of Borgezie, who also created the world’s first £100,000 gold and diamond bespoke stilettos in 2010.

Speaking about his brainchild, designer Christopher Shellis said: ‘Like the entire Borgezie range, nothing like this has been achieved or indeed possible before.

‘Due to the extremely high temperatures required to work with platinum, it proved to be one of my greatest challenges. ‘The Platinum stiletto took over four years of development.’
