Summer is here and you want to look your best. Maybe you’re cutting carbs, doing an extra set of abs at the gym, or maybe your spending a little more money on gear this year. A staple of Summer is a cool pair of shades, but something tells me not a lot of people are headed to Swiss luxury house Chopard for their sunglasses this year.
Why? Well, if you are dead set on Chopard’s priciest sunglasses you better be prepared to shell out a healthy $408,496.00. Created by De Rigo Vision, the shades have 51 fully cut River Diamonds for a total weight of 4 carats. The glares also include 60 grams of gold and 24 carats. The diamonds have been set using a special technique. The stones represent a carpeted pattern, which makes each diamond dazzle with incredible luster.
The brands famous ‘C’ logo is included on the shades. Perhaps the most awe-inspiring aspect of the sunglasses is still the pavement of diamonds. To no one’s surprise they don’t come cheap. In fact, you can find the shades on celebrities such as Elton John, Kate Beckinsale and Gwyneth Paltrow.
We’re just not on that level yet….
