The Sanremo

LE 4,999.00

One of one. An octagon frame in gold, drawn in a slim wire that gives each lens eight clean sides and a quiet, architectural edge. Warm brown lenses hold a single toffee tint from top to bottom, soft on the eye and softer still in low sun. In place of temples, a gold chain runs to two raw pink quartz stones, each hand-set in a gold-dipped cap.

The Frame

Gold-tone metal octagon with a fine wire rim and a straight, slim bridge. Temple-less: the chain is the temple.

The Lens

Warm brown polycarbonate lenses: lightweight, shatterproof, UV400. A solid tint that warms the light rather than shutting it out.

The Chain

18K gold-plated box chain, made to lie flat along the collarbone and to hang straight when the glasses are lifted off.

The Stone

Two natural pink quartz stones, left raw and hand-set in 18K gold-plated caps, deep rose with paler veins running through. No two stones are alike, so no two pairs are alike. This is the only Sanremo.

Designed in Egypt.

AS WORN

The Sanremo, 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 Sanremo

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.
