These Swarovski "
Ruby Slippers
" are a gorgeous
display item
, that celebrates the 80th Anniversary of the release of the classic iconic film MGM's  beloved
THE WIZARD OF OZ
(1939).
The 1990's Artist Ro~baer, came out of retirement to specially create these for this  80th Anniversary limited edition after receiving numerous inquires by previous clients and admirers of his past work.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
They are artist imagined and inspired homage replicas by the blueprint used from MGM  and The Harry Winston Real Jewel's 50th Anniversary 1989 Edition!
As a child the artist always thought they were real Sparkling glass ruby Slippers, like "Cinderella's Glass slippers" but dark red.  While growing up he eventually saw and examined a real pair in person, he was very shocked ... they were SEQUINS! But none the same still loved them!
During the 1990's til he retired in 2002 the artist  Ro`baer created exact replica's from hours of research, using the blue print From MGM and carefully looking over a real pair in person and taking his own photo's etc. In 1997 He was the very first and only Artist for years to Auction off his slippers on E-bay as well as his other creations, before the now many of others.
In 1998 there was special Promotional event's and photo shoot's at Disney's MGM Studios at the now defunct "Great Movie Ride" featuring his slippers. His reputation came to the Attention of the Owner/Buyer at STARABILIAS in Down Town Disney in Orlando Florida. He was commissioned for several pair.  (See Photo's)
SLIPPER STATS :
* This lovely pair of special limited edition ruby slippers are made from
actual
vintage 1930's similar type
style shoes as close as can be found now.
* They Replicate the real slippers in style with the exception of that the Sequins that fade or
eventually
thread rot with age, have been replaced with the
Forever
SPARKLING SWAROVSKI STONES!
* Each Slipper is covered and each stone was very carefully applied by hand in over
2800
true Dark *ruby* blood color Crystals in the size of the original sequins.  Which is an approximate total of
5,600 Crystal Stones per pair!
They are bursting with deep reds, crimsons and scarlet's as the light moves and you move around them. You must light them to get the full effect!  (Well worth a small spotlight on them.)
* The Bows are lined in Swarovski as well, the bigger center stones are a vintage styled from that time period.
* A reproduction Innes Shoes label is attached inside the slippers.
* Judy Garland's name written inside right as the original pair had.
*  Felt is also attached to the bottom of each shoe just as the originals.(used to quite extra noise)
* They come with a Certificate with the Artist's Hand written Signature and Edition Number.
They are VERY sparkly...unbelievably so...much more so than can be captured in the pictures. But of Course What else would you expect from
Swarovski
Crystal's. lol
The pictures don't even begin to do them justice; I tried every light and angle I could to try and capture just a bit of the shimmer and sparkle. I wish I could post a short video of them on my rotating display so you can see them. But E-bay no longer allows that.
But contact me though E-bay and maybe the video can be attached to an E-bay Correspondence. Have not tried that yet lol
THEY ARE DAZZLING
!
Remember, they were not intended to be
exact
replicas of the slippers Garland wore, (Those can run into the thousands) but an Artist's Creative Vision and homage to them and the iconic movie.
The Pictures pretty well Speak for them selves, But Please review the description carefully and feel free to ask any questions you may have
before
bidding.
Thank you for looking!
Happy Holidays!
