Black rectangular glasses with gold jeweled arms

These black rectangular sunglasses keep their motif on the temples

Nothing on the front announces it. The face of the frame is one uninterrupted black, the bridge short and solid, and the lenses show a single dark tone with no lighter zone at the bottom. The motif only comes into view once the pair is turned, roughly where the temple is at its widest, which is also the one place on the frame with enough flat surface to hold it. If the shade of the frame settles it for you before the shape does, it is worth seeing how the frames are grouped by colour across the selection.

A disc of rings between two fluted loops

The disc is not a print. It stands slightly proud of the temple, ringed from the centre outwards, and those ridges take the light at a different angle from the polished black around them. On either side of it, a small rectangular loop is fluted the same way. The three pieces stop at the outer face: from the inside, the temple is black with a round boss where the disc is fixed.

Where each part sits

The same tone on a coat rather than on the hands

The decoration rides high, level with the eyes and close to the hair, so anything that answers it works better when it stays in that upper band. A warm metal tone on the wrist drops out of sight the moment the arms come down; the same tone on a collar or a lapel stays in view while you are talking. For that, there are pieces that hold with a magnet instead of a pin, so nothing goes through the cloth.
