:accessories Indulge in Accessories Charlotte Penman Chocolate Heels Texas chocolatier, Andrea Pedrazza has saved men alot of trouble by combining two of women's favourite sins in life... the high-heel shoe and chocolate! Heck, it beats buying them an expensive high-heel shoe and an exotic chocolate! Andre Pedrazza would pour chocolate into a plastic high-heel mould and decorate them with gourmet ingredients that would pamper most sweet-tooths. Their signature chocolate shoe is the "Christian Louboutin Chocolate Shoe". In real life it would cost you $1,500 for one but in Andre's case, it only costs $35. Wild Flower, I love you every hour - Charlotte Penman's latest collection Wild Flower is inspired by a childlike wonder of nature, the iconic poppy in all its forms and wild starry filled nights. The collection comprises of 3d Poppy Pods, detailed hand carved Poppy flowers, some with gemstone centers, from tourmaline, black zircon and amethyst. Exploring anatomical drawings, as well as the poppy in its natural state Charlotte has combined the softness and fragility of the flower with a geometric edge. This can be seen in the textured, ridged petals of the flowers cotrasted with the square shapes of the ring bands and in the Wild Disk, which reveals the centre of a poppy pod. The Mariposa charm captures a stylized butterfly, with swinging gemstone tassels. Michael Hill Jeweller One of New Zealand´s most prominent jewellery manufactures has opened a flagship luxury store on Auckland's Queen Street. The jeweller, known for creating exquisite jewellery and watches for both men and women, engagement rings, dress rings, necklaces, and bracelets has saved this space for their most indulgent pieces including a pair of diamond studs valued at whopping 1.8 million. $500,000 Cinderella Shoe If you have wanted to be Cinderella, Kiwi shoe designer Kathryn Wilson can make it happen.The Auckland footwear queen teamed up with Sarah Hutchings of Orsini Fine Jewellery to create the most expensive shoe ever made in New Zealand. 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. Wilson says the dazzling piece may not be suitable to wear, "but sometimes that's what fairytales are all about". "Creating a dream shoe appeals to the princess inside me." 90 | www.h e rma gaz i n e . c o. n z
