Why Freya Rose is worth it
Freya Rose turns the heel into jewellery: mother of pearl, abalone and brass set by hand, on shoes made for weddings and big nights.
The heels are the point. Each is inlaid with mother of pearl, sometimes with abalone or polished brass, cut into florals, parquet or sculptural shapes, so even a plain ivory sandal reads as a piece of jewellery. The shoes are made in Spain with leather soles and memory-foam linings, and the pearl work comes from jewellers in Bali.

About Freya Rose
Freya Rose grew up around fine jewellery and studied footwear design in London before founding her label there in 2010, with support from a royal youth charity.
Travels in Indonesia, where mother of pearl is worked into jewellery, gave her the idea for a jewelled heel. That heel became the house signature, above all for brides, and jewellery and bags followed in 2021.

The brand says its shoes fit true to size. If you're a half size, go up rather than down, and note there are no width fittings.
