$75,000 Luxury Sunglasses

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The CliC-Gold 18K Eyewear Act as More of a Lavish Accessory

— May 23, 2012 — Luxury
Spending $75,000 on a pair of sunglasses may seem a bit excessive, but not if one views them as a piece of jewelry or art and the CliC-Gold 18K glasses are just that. They may be sunglasses, but considering their construction, they are more than meets the eye. Over 40 hours of masterful work goes into each and every pair by an expert gold crafter. The front magnet that encloses the glasses and gives them stability from ever slipping is sure to keep this beautiful accessory safe and sound to give you peace of mind.

The uber-exclusive CliC-Gold 18K sunglasses are only set to make about 100 pairs meaning that the clientele for this product is going to be a small and select bunch.
