The most expensive sunglasses in the world
•Posted on January 11 2024
Sunglasses are not only essential for protecting the eyes from the harmful effects of the sun's rays, but they now represent a symbol of style, class and elegance.
They are an accessory that allows us to break the mold and create those details that make our elegance an indelible memory. They represent the image we want to give of ourselves. They are the only accessories that can enhance our mood, but also hide it. They can be soft and enveloping, loud and exuberant, discreet and economical, but also very precious.
Luxury in sunglasses began already in the last century, when in the 1920s Hollywood celebrities began to show off very expensive and iconic models that contributed to creating their image.
Are there limits to the cost of sunglasses?
Question with not a simple answer. At the moment the most expensive model in the world appears to be produced by Chopard and is the " De Rigo Vision Sunglasses" . A real jewel, a work of art made up of 60 grams of gold and 51 diamonds, cut following a specific technique to position them so close together as to create a truly spectacular light effect. The Chopard letter “C” appears on the side of the glasses and is in enamel. Not a common enamel, obviously: the glass powder was in fact subjected to high temperatures at least 4 times.
And the cost? The "list" price is around 400 thousand dollars .
The model in question is produced by the de Rigo Vision company, exclusive licensee of the Chopard sunglasses line and is on sale in Dubai or on order.
Chopard is one of the most prestigious Swiss watch and jewelry brands in the world. Founded in 1860 by Louis-Ulysse Chopard, a young Swiss watchmaker and jeweler, over the decades it has become synonymous with refinement, luxury and craftsmanship.
For those who don't want to fly to Dubai to buy glasses and don't even want to spend such exaggerated amounts, Mr Shades Shop these days offers a series of high fashion models, including Chopard ones, at really interesting prices. It could be an opportunity to treat yourself to a dream, taking advantage of Mr Shades' luxury sales.
