World's most expensive shoes embellished with 236 diamonds go on sale in Dubai today for £13M

A pair of shoes thought to be the most expensive in the world go on sale today - for £13million today.

The lavish heels are made from gold patent leather, silk, and embellished with 236 diamonds, as well as featuring a round 15 carat flawless D- diamond centre piece at the tip of each shoe. The 'Passion Diamond' shoes are the second set of showstoppers from UAE-based designer Jada Dubai, who hit headlines earlier in the year for its royal collection, also in collaboration with jewellery brand Passion Jewellers, which included a pair for £217,800. The one of a kind shoes will be made bespoke to fit the buyer, but a prototype has been created in Italy that will be viewed by just 50 VIP clients at what's billed as the world's only seven-star hotel, the Burj Al Arab in Dubai.
