Oliver Peoples just unveiled the Maestro, and these aren’t your average shades. The brand says they’re inspired by the “elegance of 1950s occasion dressing” and even borrow cues from classical music. The silhouette features intricate linear corewire detailing that’s plated in 18k white gold, echoing the design of a musical staff. This isn’t just a design detail; it’s a statement.
The tips of the temples are fitted with a choice of ruby, sapphire, or emerald precious stones. You also get 7-barrel hinges for enhanced durability and vintage-inspired mineral glass lenses with anti-reflective coatings. The whole experience comes presented in a large, leather-wrapped case, making it clear these are far from your everyday sunglasses.
The Maestro is available here through Oliver Peoples’ online store for $2,728. If you’re looking for a pair of shades for summer travel, these ones are certainly equal parts style, craftsmanship, and pure opulence.
