The jewelry houses unveiling eyewear

Works of art they may be, but real gems they sure are. Although bejeweled glasses are nothing new, we want to concentrate here on timeless signature style and iconic hallmarks more than fleeting fashions. And the jewelry houses really do excel at all things eye catching.

Bedazzled and bejeweled

From the finest solid gold frames, to temples encrusted with rubies and sapphires, via baroque styles set with diamonds, exceptional eyewear remains the preserve of the biggest celebs, as well as blinged-out rappers and those with bulging bank accounts.

But even away from the spotlight, striking designs are popular among the eyewear trends for 2022, with bejeweled sunglasses proving ultra-desirable, their iconic details made bolder than ever.

Jewelry meets eyewear

Cartier’s Love bracelet, created in 1969 by Aldo Cipullo; Bulgari’s Serpenti range, charming the most beautiful women in the world with its precious scales since the Forties; the intricately woven rope style bracelets in the Force 10 collection from Fred, Godron rings, diamonds, Clous de Paris and Grosgrain in the Quatre collection by Boucheron; iconic jewelry that still captures attention. From cascades of crystals and stones of a thousand facets, to rock &roll symbolism and flamboyant singularity, replicating their magic in eyewear goes beyond fashion – it is part of the dream.
