Frame INTRODUCTIONS

 A little Luxury

The Optical Shop of Aspen (OSA) has introduced Classic Oval, a frame inspired by the classic oval belt buckle from the Chrome Hearts collection—the front frame end pieces include crafted miniatures of the buckle. The Classic Oval comes with 52 white or black diamonds and the temple is made from hand-stitched Italian leather. The temple end tip is made from two materials—the outside is comprised of sterling silver embossed with the Chrome Hearts logo and the inside is made of copper beryllium as the sterling silver alone would react with the skin. The lenses used are NXT. Classic Oval frames are priced at $1,375, wholesale. If only one stone is set in the center, frames are $645. Various lens and leather temple colors are available. Visit the company Website, www.osainternational.com for more information.
