Silhouette honors its tradition of extraordinary craftsmanship and design with its new Elegance collection. Within the Elegance collection, Silhouette introduces three smaller refined luxury collections, Crystal Diva, Radiance and Carbon Intarsia. Soft lines and precision make the Crystal Diva styles individually unique and exceptionally detailed. Inspired by the softly waved, glamorous hairstyles of early Hollywood movie stars, each feminine frame is hand-polished and crafted in Austria where crystal setters apply 300 finely cut crystals to the temples, creating a luminous appeal. The new rimless Radiance collection features tiny crystals set into a small bouquet on the temples, where a contemporary cut contributes to the lightness and elegance of each frame. The gold plating of each frame is multilayered, nickel-free, corrosion-resistant and hypoallergenic. Temples feature 23-carat gold plating and 200 finely cut crystals. A combination of high-tech quality materials and masculine elegance is the epitome of the Carbon Intarsia collection. The rimless eyewear styles embrace a sleek design with an innovative material that combines SPX, gold and carbon. An extremely fine carbon weave is inlaid by hand on each 23-carat gold-plated temple. The four rimless styles in this collection are available in three colors—gold, gray and a sporty black gray.
