Anja Rubik, Chopard Diamond Encrusted Stiletto Sandals by Giuseppe Zanotti

Footwear designer Giuseppe Zanotti and jewelry group Chopard have created an incredibly precious pair of sandals for model Anja Rubik. The beautiful blonde wore them at the Cannes Film Festival last Thursday.

Made of rose gold and adorned with 199 carats of pink sapphires, 134 carats of rubellites and 22 carats of diamonds, the pink satin stilettos were later auctioned off at the AmfAR Cinema Against AIDS event, together with a matching pair of earrings, also made of rose gold and adorned with diamonds and pink sapphires.

According to Caroline Gruosi-Scheufele, the Co-President of Chopard, the jewelry group has supported AmfAR in many previous Cannes galas. She also said: “This year, we wished to support the charity through an idea than took shape when I met Giuseppe Zanotti. His talent has inspired a project combining our respective crafts”. The event raised a total of $10 million.
