Tiffany & Co Sunglasses: A New Jewel in Your Collection

You might not instantly think sunglasses at the mention of Tiffany & Co, but you do think of luxury: diamonds, platinum, gold, and (if you know your design history) elaborate stained glass lamps and windows. Tiffany & Co is a girl’s best friend and an engagement ring favorite, but it’s also fast becoming one of the favorite brands for designer sunglasses. Tiffany & Co are a favorite of celebrities trying to stay classic while embracing a trend. Think of Tiffany & Co designer sunglasses as an easy way to add that Tiffany sparkle to your wardrobe—without the price tag of diamonds.

No stranger to trends, Tiffany & Co women’s sunglasses have favored oversized, chunky frames in recent years, with embellishments that turn heads. No stranger to beautifully crafted precious metals, Tiffany & Co have added gorgeous touches to their shades—the silver hinges on the 1837 model, or Swarovski crystals on the Jazz Shield frames. And, of course, you can upgrade to real diamonds (don’t lose those shades at the beach!). Starlets, pop stars, and famous-for-being-famous types alike reach for Tiffany shades when they want to add a little bit of bling to an otherwise dressed-down look.

Celebrities with decidedly upmarket tastes, such as Sarah Jessica Parker, also favor Tiffany & Co.’s bold eyewear along with their Chanels and Marc Jacobs. So do powerful women like Carla Bruni Sarkozy, first lady of France, and Michelle Obama—lawyer, hospital administrator, and future first lady of the United States. Tiffany’s sunglasses and eyeglasses are luxurious, but manage to complement basic styles of dress. The look is unforgettable, the effect on one’s wardrobe dramatic—and distinctly Tiffany & Co.
