THE GOLDEN PRIZE When Dan Carter played his 100th test game for the All Blacks, he designed a limited collector’s edition boot to celebrate the achievement. Named the DC100, only 100 pairs of these custom gold and red coloured, size 11 boots were made. We got our hands on pair number 82 - the year Dan was born - and not by chance. We then got them signed by the Golden Boy himself. Three years later and Dan has retired from the All Blacks to play rugby in France for Racing Metro - not before adding a few accolades to his already long list - back-to-back World Cup champion, man of the match in the Cup final, World Rugby player of the year, BBC overseas sports personality of the year, and Comeback of the Year at the Laureus Awards. Oh and he released a book. Meanwhile, the crafty team at The Village Goldsmith were coming up with a tribute of our own. We designed and made a pair of 9 carat gold miniature rugby boots to be worn as a pendant. We then added a Village Goldsmith touch and put diamonds in the soles. Together, the two pairs of golden boots make the ultimate prize! We also thought a prize this good is a chance to do some good. So, in order to gain multiple chances to win, you can donate to The iSPORT Foundation, of which Dan Carter is a founding member and ambassador, to help young Kiwis fulfill their sporting dreams just like Dan did.

THE MAKING OF OUR MINIATURE GOLDEN BOOTS At The Village Goldsmith, we pride ourselves on attention to detail and quality craftsmanship. Designing and crafting these miniature rugby boots was a lot of fun. We decided to add our own touch by putting a brilliant diamond in the sole of each boot! We've been crafting jewellery in our Wellington workshop for 35 years, and we have the privilege of sharing our designs with customers from all over the world. Jewellery is our passion. We're thrilled that we could partner with The iSPORT Foundation to help young Kiwis pursue their sporting passions, and maybe one day reach a world stage, just like Dan Carter has.
