# Jewel-Encrusted Glasses This Collection of Luxury Glasses is More Expensive Than Most By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-09-26 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-glasses References: [luxurylaunches](http://luxurylaunches.com/fashion/these-13000-pair-of-glasses-by-silhouette-are-the-ultimate-luxury-for-your-eyes.php) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-retro-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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loewe-and-jacob-co), rubies and blue or pink sapphires. For those who can afford them, these glasses signify the highest form of opulence. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Ultra Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/ultraluxury) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Luxury Eyewear:** The rise of luxury eyewear as a status symbol presents opportunities for designers to innovate with high-end materials and embellishments. - **Personalized Products:** Personalized, bespoke eyewear can provide consumers with unique, high-end products that reflect their personal style and taste. - **Sustainable Luxury:** Sustainable luxury eyewear using eco-friendly materials and ethical supply chains is a growing trend and presents opportunities for environmentally and socially responsible companies. ### Who This Affects Most - **Luxury Goods:** The luxury goods industry can capitalize on the trend for high-end, jewel-encrusted glasses by creating products for consumers who seek to display their wealth and status. - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can incorporate luxury eyewear into their collections, creating new revenue streams while offering their customers high-end, unique products. - **Eyewear:** Eyewear companies can leverage the trend for personalized and sustainable luxury products to differentiate themselves in the competitive eyewear market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Personalized Luxury Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inovati.md) - [Jewelry-Like Glasses Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gentle-monster-7.md) - [Blinged-Out Smart Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asap-rocky-1.md) - [Elevated Overzied Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giant-vintage.md) - [Luxury Statement Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signature-eyewear-collection.md) - [Cybertruck-Inspired Luxe Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/p8951.md) - [Ultra-Stylish Eyewear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inaugural-eyewear-collection.md) - [Luxe Limited-Edition Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rverie-collection.md) - [Textured Wood-Inspired Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/issey-miyake-eyes.md)
