The Raffaella Montalban Bejeweled Sunglasses are definitely a [softer and lighter creation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xena-glasses) compared to conventional spectacles, adding the ultimate flair for a unique look.

This line of bejeweled glasses takes away traditional rods and instead uses soft strings of pearls and natural stones to hold up these [stylish frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-harwood-20). The strings extend behind the ears and swing like earrings. Mother of pearl, amber and jade are some of the precious stones used in the fashionable strings of the Raffaella Montalban Bejeweled Sunglasses.
