The Positano

LE 4,999.00

One of one. A rimless hexagon, cut sharp at the outer corners and held by little more than a slim bridge, so the lenses seem to float on the face. Grey-mauve lenses soften from smoke at the top to a wash of rose at the bottom. In place of temples, a gold chain runs from each corner to a raw purple quartz point, hand-set in a gold-dipped cap.

The Frame

Rimless hexagon on a slim bridge with gold-tone metal end pieces at the corners. Temple-less: the chain is the temple.

The Lens

Grey-pink gradient polycarbonate lenses: lightweight, shatterproof, UV400. The tint sits between smoke and blush, so the world looks a little warmer than it is.

The Chain

18K gold-plated box chain, fine enough to disappear against the skin and heavy enough to hang straight when you let go.

The Stone

Two natural purple quartz stones, left raw and hand-set in 18K gold-plated caps. Each point carries its own cloud and colour, and there will not be another pair like them. This is the only Positano.

Designed in Egypt.

AS WORN

The Positano, on.

No studio. An afternoon out, and the pair exactly as it arrives — held by the chain, resting on the shoulders.

THE ATELIER

One of one.

No arms. Real stone. Yours alone.

The Positano

THE OBJECT

A pair held by a chain.

Most glasses are held by two arms. These are held by a chain — and every other decision followed from that one.

THE FRAME

There are no arms.

The chain clips into a small gold loop at each corner, passes the ear, and falls. Behind that loop there is nothing at all.

  2. No armsNo hinge, no fold

THE LENS

A lens that does not shatter.

Polycarbonate. It absorbs impact instead of breaking, and the UV400 filter is part of the material itself — no coating on top to scratch away or fade.

THE CHAIN

Box link, plated in 18K gold.

Square links keep their line instead of twisting into a rope, so the chain lies flat and stays put. The 18K plating covers every link, not just the faces you see.

THE STONE

Real stone. Never the same twice.

Every stone is natural — chosen, not made. No two come out of the ground alike, so no two pairs leave here alike.

THE BALANCE

So what actually keeps it on?

Weight, settled before assembly. The chain is weighed against the frame and against the stone, so the piece balances itself and sits where you set it.

HOW IT IS MADE

Four decisions, in order.

01

Select

One stone is taken out of many, and its marks are left alone.

02

Gold

The collar around the stone is plated here in 18K gold.

03

Link

Built to length, plated through, fixed at each corner.

04

Balance

Frame, chain and stone, weighed against each other.

VANNAE

No two stones are alike,
so no two pairs are alike.

Held by a chain. Plated in 18K gold. Set with a stone that exists once.
