Diamond encrusted ‘Cinderella’ shoe fetches $500k at charity auction

Hutchings painstakingly placed more than half a million dollars worth of white diamonds on to a single classic court-heeled shoe to create a one-off work of art.

The process involved hours of surgeon-like precision using tweezers and a special adhesive.

The shoe was sold at an auction organised by Wilson to raise money and awareness for Ronald McDonald House.
