Caresse d'orchidees par Cartier at OPTYX by Gruen: the ultimate in accessory indulgence

OPTYX by Gruen is known for the finest quality lenses found anywhere, offering customers an extensive luxury eyewear collection. Romantic and modern, the Caresse d’orchidees par Cartier rimless eyewear collection features an alluring flower decorated with sumptuous details, ranging from pink sapphires and diamonds to hand-laid black lacquer. Cartier’s stylized orchid rests delicately on the sides of these exceptional eyewear creations. The elegant solid gold frames are available in white, rose or yellow gold.

I had the opportunity to preview them before they were even made available to the public and what a visual delight it was! The images below of the collection do these frames no justice. A representative from Cartier tells me that the frames do not only function as eyeglasses, but you can also order them to serve as sunglasses. The shapes of the lenses can be ordered to your liking, and the service you receive is the ultimate in fine eyewear. Prices range from $44,500- 31,200 for the High Jewelry Collection and $7,000-4,500 for the Jewelry Collection.

Both collections are debuting in United States at OPTYX by Gruen here in New York.
