Daniel Swarovski cuts new crystals for sunglass range

A 23-carat gold-plated decoration extends across the temple and front sections of these frames and features three vertically-positioned Baguettes Magiques crystals. Daniel Swarovski said the crystals have been created with just a few precise cuts, transforming the square quality crystals into shimmer gems that reflect the colours of the frame. There are three models in the collection. A 'Classic' version follows the trend towards larger and rounder models in black, brown, dark red and cool petrol. The second features gold-plated metal in either shiny and matt gold or silver and ruthenium. The third is a two-tone acetate frame in either grey-green, jonquil or mauve with transparent colour on the upper part and a neutral translucent tone on the bottom part. Daniel Swarovski has found that crystals are an option for men's sunglasses as well. The Prenta Cut collection includes 23-carat gold-plated metal frames in gold, silver and ruthenium or as a rimless. They feature a precision-cut five-sided crystal on the temples. - For more information call 0208 889 9997.
