Now here is something that might interest the obscenely rich. The world’s first stiletto made of platinum can now be yours for just £70,000. It took The House Of Borgezie all of four years to come up with this stiletto and now it’s time someone paid for it. For those unaware, Borgezie is known for making really fine jewelry and as you too might agree this stiletto is possibly one of the most expensive pieces of jewelry ever made for someone’s foot.

Christopher Michael Shellis, the man who started Borgezie nearly a quarter of a century ago, while describing the motivation behind this one of a kind stiletto was quoted as saying ““We are all surrounded by pure perfect design in nature that cannot be improved upon. It is just a matter of translating that design perfection. Such as the sheer elegance of a lily and its lily stamen, the inspiration of the famous lily stamen heal, originally used on the eternal diamond stiletto, and now on the Cleopatra range. This love of nature, even on a microscopic scale that we rarely see, like the perfection and symmetry of a single pollen grain, or the beguiling complexity of a single snowflake crystal that no two are alike that have fallen from the sky since time began. This love of symmetry is a natural instinct in us all.”
Fortunately for those of you who can’t stand the sight platinum, Borgezie offers a variant made of gold, which costs £10,000 less. So all those women (or men) out there who want to feel like Cleopatra and have money to burn, should immediately order one of these two stilettos. Of course, there will always be those who will want to put a dampener on the whole thing by pointing out that there are kids dying in Africa of hunger and anyone who can pay £70,000 to buy stilettos can surely buy those kids some food instead.

Many others would propose a third option, which would be for anyone who can afford these super-expensive footwear to buy them, but also to shell out £70,000 or more for feeding the hungry kids. This way you not only get to appease your conscience and help out some hungry kids, but you also get to be one of those rare few, who need a bodyguard because of their footwear and when you need to hire someone to protect your footwear, you know you have arrived.
