Description
“Gingerbread” Diamondpointes Ballet Shoe
Diamondpointes Ballet Shoes are unique, upcycled works of art inspired either by celebrated characters in famous ballets or by the romantic city of Paris where the concert form of ballet first began. Diamondpointes have been stripped, cleaned, dyed, painted, glued, sewn, bedazzled, lined, and glittered to bring out their beauty once again.
Diamondpointes make exquisite gifts for ballet lovers or collectors of unique art. They come in a golden yellow organza bag with a designed, titled, and numbered tag, and each includes a stand for display.
In the Nutcracker ballet, the gingerbread characters are part of the second act’s “Land of Sweets” scene. They are typically associated with the character Mother Ginger, who is a comical figure that appears in a giant skirt and is accompanied by a group of children dressed as gingerbread cookies. The gingerbread characters are often interpreted as a representation of the sweetness and delight of the holiday season.
