The Dubai International Jewellery Week 2014 which is being held at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from December 3 to 6 offers visitors a chance to see some unique pieces of jewellery that are real collector’s  items, according to reports.

The single piece that has evoked maximum interest is a pair of diamond srudded boots, reportedly containing 1,527 carats and priced at US$ 3.1mn. The European size 38 calf-length boots have been presented by Auro Jewels and feature more than 39,000 fancy coloured diamonds in grey, pink and champagne colours. Over 4,500 grams of gold has also been used. The boots were designed by well known Belgian fashion label A F Vandevorst. They are said to have been recognised by Guiness Book of World Records as the world’s most expensive boots.

Another unique offering is a sapphire and emerald front and back necklace,  priced at $176,929, which can be worn as one to adorn the necklines on both the front and the back. It uses 71 carats of diamonds and 38 carats of coloured stones and has been created by Anatol from Greece.

The company also offers a Trigonometry Collection, inspired by everyday shapes and ancient trigonometric patterns.

There is also an ‘invisible’ ruby necklace and earrings set which has a unique 3D effect.
