Diamond Shoe by Stuart Weitzman
Speaking of "soleful" living, here is one of a pair of diamond-adorned shoes created by designer Stuart Weitzman. The shoes, highlighted with Kwiat Diamonds and valued at $2 million, were worn by country star Alison Krauss who sang the Oscar-nominated songs 'Scarlet Tide'' and 'You Will Be My Ain True Love' from the movie 'Cold Mountain.''
The stiletto sandal on a 4 ˝ - inch invisible heel is covered with more than 500 dazzling diamonds set in pure platinum giving the illusion that there is no shoe, just diamonds twinkling on the foot. Nestled among the clear classic diamonds is an extraordinarily rare colored diamond. Never seen before, this diamond, which is amaretto in color and approximately 5 karats, is being specially cut and polished for the Weitzman shoes. With the rare colored diamond valued at well over $1 million and the shoes adorned with an additional 55 karats of clear diamonds, this pair of shoes will likely sell for $2 million or more.
Kwiat Diamonds, with a legacy of exceptional craftsmanship and award-winning designs, has combined the rare diamond with classic diamonds. Lowell Kwiat expressed excitement in discussing the unique gem. “In my family’s nearly 100 years making fine jewelry, we have never seen a diamond of this color. I myself have seen more than a million diamonds, but nothing that looks like this.”
Weitzman says, “Every woman dreams of being Cinderella, and Cinderella's fantasy shoe has finally become a reality."
We hope that Alison and her Cinderella shoes made it home before the clock struck midnight ...
