Harry Winston Ruby Slippers- Royal elegance and classic beauty crafted for your pretty little feet

If you are a lady with extreme love for exclusive shoes and slippers, then you may want to check out the ruby slippers crafted by the house of Harry Winston.

The design was made by Ronald Winston in 1989 and crafted by craftsman Javiar Barerra who took two months to set the stones in the slippers and deliver the final finished product. The jewelry house, founded in 1932, has the legacy of designing revolutionary jewelry with a modern twist. These ruby slippers were designed with the inspiration of the slippers worn by Judy Garland or Dorothy in the movie Wizard of Oz which was a classic produced by the MGM in the year 1939. The movie was a big hit, and the slippers worn by Garland became a thing to be collected and treasured. The original ones worn by Judy Garland were actually pumps made of white silk which was dyed red. The entire thing was then set by burgundy and sequined overlays. However unlike the original ones, these are made entirely out of rubies. The Lucite slippers were designed keeping in mind the petite size of Garland’s foot at size 4.

There are 4,600 rubies which total 1,350 carats as well as 50 carats diamonds encrusted in these breathtakingly beautiful ruby slippers. The ruby slippers were designed to mark and commemorate The Wizard of Oz’s fiftieth anniversary. The slippers come at a whopping price of $3 million, making it the world’s most expensive shoes, leaving the nearest competitor out-priced by far.

The dazzling slippers are the ultimate in sophistication and elegance. This is not only expensive and exclusive; it is totally unique as well. The design and the creative thinking is way ahead of its time. The delicate beauty and detailing of the slippers leave the viewers wanting to look at it for a long time. The slippers were unveiled for the first time at Manhattan’s Trump Towers by Winston with Donald Trump acting as the co-host. The unique creation has decorated the delicate feet of Judy Garland.

However, only the cost and expense must not be kept in mind. These ruby slippers designed by the house of Harry Winston take part in tours that benefit children’s charities like the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, the Starlight Foundation and the Make-A-Wish foundation.
