Based on their namesake footwear from The Wizard of Oz, these extravagant slippers were designed for the 2003 Oscars. Unfortunately, they were never worn due to the solemn mood of the times. They are studded with 642 Burma rubies weighing in at 123.33 carats. The settings are made of half a pound of platinum. These shoes were made with the help of Oscar Heyman Bros. Worn by singer Alison Krauss at the 2004 Academy Awards, these shoes were Weitzman’s next pair of fantasy-themed slippers. They are studded with 565 Kwiat diamonds—55 carats of clear diamonds and a single 5-carat gem. Unfortunately, they’re probably not made of glass. They are currently on display in Beverly Hills, California. Made in conjunction between Stuart Weitzman and the 500-year-old tradition of the Le Vian name, these stunning slippers are made of silver leather set with over 200 carats of precious stones. There are over 185 carats of museum-quality tanzanite gemstones along the ankle bracelets, including the two 16-carat gems hanging from each. Additionally, there are 28 carats of diamonds along the front straps. While the original ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland were made with sequins, these spectacular slippers designed by Ronald Winston of the House of Harry Winston to mark the classic movie’s fiftieth anniversary used real rubies. The slippers include 4,600 rubies totaling 1,350 carats (as well as 50 carats of diamonds) which took craftsman Javiar Barerra two months to set. Made in 1989, the world’s most expensive shoes were still on sale in 2000.

Ornate and exquisite, the Encore ring by Le Vian will win hearts, rekindle romances, and look gorgeous perched on her finger. Feast your eyes on this turquoise and sapphire ring. A 14K gold band cradles an oversized turquoise stone while blue and white sapphires encircle the bezel for a truly royal effect.
Even the band here stands out for its high-quality white gold. The stone which it bears is a beautiful robin’s egg blue and the twenty-eight sapphires sparkle magnificently in tones of deepest blue. The central gemstone weighs in at an impressive 4.5 carats. This is a stunning example of quality designer jewelery. Expect to pay between $300 and $400; it really does seem worth it.

by admin
We immediately fell in love with this phenomenally beautiful ring from design heavyweight Encore by Le Vian. This ring is almost too much for the senses, featuring rubies, yellow sapphires and orange sapphires clustered together in a beautiful, bursting, radiant heart shape.
The gemstones are truly dazzling to the eye. The band of this ring is of brilliant 14K yellow gold . Each of the rubies is of a genuinely intense red, and the orange and yellow sapphires carefully round out the warm-color spectrum. 19 rubies of 0.36 carat, 33 orange sapphires of 0.53 carat, and 40 yellow sapphires 0.72 carat make up the total stone count. Buy this for yourself or a loved one for extra-special wear. $365 to $435 online.
