CHARMAS Sunglasses

CHARMAS Sunglasses is an innovative luxury eyewear design that masterfully combines contemporary fashion with ancient Etruscan artisanal techniques, crafted in 18-karat white gold and adorned with 4.2 carats of diamonds. This exceptional piece, designed by Italian goldsmith Isabella Gabbin, represents a groundbreaking fusion of traditional jewelry craftsmanship and modern eyewear design, distinguished by its unique granulation texture that pays homage to the sophisticated metalworking techniques perfected by the Etruscans in the 7th and 6th centuries BCE. The sunglasses feature a meticulously crafted structure measuring 15 centimeters in width, 14 centimeters in length, and 6 centimeters in height, incorporating polycarbonate lenses within its precious metal framework. The design's distinctive characteristic lies in its innovative diamond setting technique, where precious stones are embedded within microspheres, creating a captivating carpet-like effect that achieves maximum brilliance with optimal gem efficiency. This sophisticated approach to luxury eyewear, which earned a Silver A' Design Award in the Jewelry Design category, demonstrates exceptional technical prowess in combining optical engineering requirements with high jewelry aesthetics. The creation process involved extensive research into optical corrections, facial ergonomics, and structural integrity, resulting in a wearable piece of art that maintains perfect balance between functionality and opulence. The design's adaptable structure allows for various shapes and dimensions while maintaining its signature granulated texture, representing a significant innovation in the luxury eyewear sector and establishing new possibilities for the integration of traditional goldsmithing techniques in contemporary accessories.
