Most people's eyewear does not cost more than a few hundred dollars but the luxury glasses offered by the Austrian brand 'Silhouette' diverge from that norm tremendously.
The series of glasses are part of the 'Silhouette Atelier Collection' and are anything but simple in their design. The designer Martin Preuer-Lackner chose 18 carat yellow, white and rose gold to complete the women's frames, while the men's frames come in a 23 carat gold-plated titanium. The men's luxury glasses are also decorated with gold embellishments while the women's are covered in precious stones that include diamonds, rubies and blue or pink sapphires.
For those who can afford them, these glasses signify the highest form of opulence.
