Heavenly Bodies Part 4 "The Vatican"

All diamonds this was just really quite fantastic 
Totally beautiful 


How fabulous are these shoes!!! 
Mitre of Leo XIII (1878–1903). German cloth of silver embroidered with gold metal thread, diamonds, emeralds, sapphires and semiprecious stones, from 1887.



These items just leave you breathless 
Another angle of those shoes, they look like they could be pretty comfy! 


Tiara of Pius IX (1846-78), German and Spanish, 1854. Cloth of silver embroidered with gold metal thread, gold, diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds and pearls. 
How gorgeous is this tiara? It gives the English royal family a run for their money!
