Assoluto 90s vintage wrap around rhinestone shield sunglasses made in Italy. Deep blue acetate frame with dazzling diamante circles. NOS

It's extremely seldom that we get to promote anything this flamboyant for men. These were actually made in the 90s, quite some time before the ghetto fabulous Y2K era gave the hip hop brethren a break from bragging about how many people they'd shot or sold drugs to and allowed them the space to make their fortunes from music instead, and then spend that money on outlandish bejewelled paraphernalia. This made it ok for men to wear sunglasses with diamantes just as natural as waving around a desert eagle. But in the 90s, only the ever confident Italians were conceiving such fantasies and making impressive products like this out of them. The truth is this extremely specific look takes more than just confidence it needs to be convincing and that can only come from a superior level of quality that washes away any possibility of some Asos type association. This virtually unsearchable boutique brand Assoluto were making things that were too interesting to ever allow them to become mainstream enough for any general recognition. But clearly they were made in the same factories and to the same standards as the banal household name superbrands.

The design is abetted by the crystals appearing more like tiny shiny studs than crystals which are then arranged in compact, well contained circular patterns. These are not imposing from the direct front view until the head turns to the side.
