The most expensive sunglasses in the world
•Posted on January 11 2024
Sunglasses are not only essential for protecting your eyes from the harmful effects of the sun's rays, but they have become a symbol of style, class, and elegance.
They're 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 project of ourselves. They're the only accessories that can enhance our mood, but also hide it. They can be soft and enveloping, loud and exuberant, discreet and affordable, but also very precious.
Luxury in sunglasses began in the last century, when in the 1920s Hollywood celebrities began to show off very expensive and iconic models that helped shape their image.
Are there any limits to the cost of sunglasses?
That's a difficult question to answer. Currently, the most expensive model in the world is produced by Chopard and is the " De Rigo Vision Sunglasses." A true jewel, a work of art composed of 60 grams of gold and 51 diamonds, cut using a specific technique to position them so close together that they create a truly spectacular light effect. The letter "C" for Chopard appears on the side of the glasses and is made of enamel. Not ordinary enamel, of course: the glass powder was subjected to high temperatures at least four times.
And the cost? The "list" price is around 400 thousand dollars .
The model in question is produced by De Rigo Vision , the exclusive licensee of the Chopard sunglasses line, and is on sale in Dubai or to order.
Chopard is one of the world's most prestigious Swiss watch and jewelry brands. 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.
