Hand cut luxury leather, made in Portugal, high density soft rubber sole, leather lined with full tongue to toe canvas lining. Super lightweight boot.
Available in Black or Tobacco Tan

So Happy 2010, mine was not quite as glamorous as this, but one of my presents was a celebration of 250 years of Sotherby's, from which this beautiful picture is lifted.

At an electrifying 1969 Parke-Bernet auction saw Richard Burton's agent repeatedly bid for this stunning 69.42 carat diamond ring (worn suspended from a separate necklace), Cartier won with a winning bid of $1,050,000. Burton later managed to acquire it from Cartier amid unprecedented publicity, ever since the diamond has been known as the Taylor-Burton Diamond.

Could it look any more stunning than in this shot, enjoy....
