CELEBRATE THE RETURN OF ornament, scale, and intentional drama with suns that draw from vintage luxury without feeling costumey or nostalgic. Craftsmanship becomes the statement, whether through layered acetates, sculptural metals, rich textures, or jewelry-inspired details. This is glamour reimagined: confident, considered, and rooted in design that values artistry as much as presence.

Caviar
Bridging old-world influence and modern design through sculpted silhouettes and refined decorative detail, the result — like on the new M6910 sunglasses — feels timeless rather than nostalgic, expressive without being loud. Glamour that carries forward, not back.

Kendra Scott
Kendra Scott reframes glamour through form rather than flash with the model KE618S. The oversized silhouette and blue marbled acetate create depth and presence, while the stone detail feels intentional — an accent, not an afterthought. It’s bold eyewear that understands restraint isn’t the opposite of drama; it’s how drama matures.

The SK5062 is an oversized cat eye that stretches glamour into a more luminous, expressive space. Pairing saturated translucent acetate with all-over crystal embellishment that reads unmistakably jewelry-forward, the exaggerated scale and high-shine finish give it a futuristic edge.
