The $2 Million Tanzanite Sandals
Our friends at Aisledash recently did a post on some of the world's most expensive shoes but they didn't mention the pair I actually got to see last week. At the Le Vian party in Las Vegas one of the displays included these $2 million shoes from Stuart Weitzman. The silver leather heels feature over 185 carats of tanzanite and 28 carats of diamonds. The front strap features a slim strap of diamonds but the heavy gemstones are designed to curve around the ankle with a 16 carat pear-shaped tanzanite drop surrounded by diamonds that dangles down over the top of the foot. The shoes were behind glass so I didn't get to examine them up close but the stones do seem to be mounted directly onto the leather rather than being immediately removable.

Oh, these are beautiful. I'm not a woman obviously but I do appreciate gemstones when I see them.
Isn't tanzanite running out? Just think of how much these will be worth 50 years from now.

I would love to meet the woman that can afford these! ;)
