Frames with Beauty and Finesse
“There, all is order and beauty, luxury, calm and voluptuousness” Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867)
Luxury is often an indefinable ingredient. In eyewear, frames in the luxury category come with a heritage of development, longevity and design that endures. Eyewear connoisseurs LINDBERG in Denmark choose noble materials for the Precious Collection that includes Platinum, 18K solid gold; diamonds; musk ox horn and other fine, natural materials. Style 2237 (above) is artfully crafted in rose and yellow gold – true heirloom eyewear. www.lindberg.com
Genuine Horn has long been a favourite luxury material for eyewear. Sven Götti at Götti Switzerland creates an elegant Horn composition – Bano – that is full of character and refinement. The frame is a classic look in a square shape that harmonically complements masculine and feminine facial shapes. www.gotti.ch
Delicate and feminine, Swedish designer Anna-Karin Karlsson combines acetate with handset Swarovski crystals, and 24K gold dipped end tips in Kiki on the String Rosé. A sweeping brow provides additional glamour and sophistication. www.annakarinkarlsson.com
Pearls are a lunar symbol, the oldest known gem, and magical powers are attributed to them. The superior beauity of pearls is effectively presented in Chrisope – a striking design by Christiane Di Palo Burrone for Selima Optique. The sunglasses are matt stainless steel, and the temples are elegant Swarovski pearls. www.selimaoptique.com
