What would you rather spend your savings on: a piece of exquisite jewelry or a pair of high-end sunglasses? With an item from Swarovski 2013 Limited Edition you won’t have to make this difficult choice because exclusive Swarovski sunglasses have it all: they provide perfect sun protection and they are decorated with crystals of different colors.

It seems like there are a couple of gemstone-flowers embellishing each of the lens whereas in fact each eyewear piece employs as many as 78 crystals set by hand – very intricate work indeed. No wonder the sunglasses are priced at $1300.

This isn’t the first time Swarovski releases eyewear. Although these are probably the sunglasses which the best reflect the company’s specialization. They are studded with sparkling crystals just as any item ever created by Swarovski.

In order to create these exceptional shades Swarovski has teamed up with Marcolin to benefit from eyewear-manufacturing expertise of an Italian company.

There have only been made 800 items of the precious sunglasses, but since the collection was released a couple of months ago, the number of pieces available has probably shrunk considerably. So if you want to flaunt this accessory the coming summer, you’d better hurry.
