Valentine's Most Expensive Gifts Of The World
The way to a man's heart may be through his stomach, but the way to a woman's heart is most definitely via her feet. And the better they are shod, the happier she will be: Fact.
So
if you really want to turn on the charm this Valentine's Day - and you
have a spare £140,000 kicking about - consider treating her to a pair of
the world's most expensive shoes.
Crafted in solid gold and studded with more than 2,000 diamonds, they are quite a sight to behold.
But with that price tag, you wouldn't
want to wear them for anything more strenuous than teetering around the
boudoir. Dancing shoes, they ain't. The stilettos are the work of British designer Christopher Michael Shellis, who spent three
years working on the opulent creation. The works of art were painstakingly put together by skilled
goldsmiths working at temperatures of more than 1,000c.
The heels and soles are replaceable - they are shoes that are supposed to be worn, not just looked at.
