World-renowned jeweler Lugano Diamonds has come out with a new set of sunglasses designed by Barton Perriera that feature frames inlaid with clear and colored diamonds. Above is my favorite with pink lenses, gold frame, and 2.85 carats of fancy pink diamonds, and in the gallery below there's a leopard-print design with intense yellow and black diamonds on the frame and also a pretty purple version. Diamonds on sunglasses all too often end up looking gaudy and overly flashy but these are nicely understated. Just a little sparkle at your temple to honor your love of diamonds. Sunglasses priced at about $27,000 each.

I come to Luxist every single day to catch up on luxury items and services all over the world. I must say I'm really disappointed to see this post in here. I would expect to read it in any other 'luxury' website, but not here.

And the reason is because this is a copy+paste from LuxuryLaunches post, from Feb 25th. My disappointment is that you did not even tried to see if these sunglasses are for real, you did not research on those before publishing.

I was researching these sunglasses after saw them at the other site and in 1 minute I found out that:

- The correct name of the designer is Barton Perreira, and not Perriera as LLaunches wrote (and you copied).

- Lugano diamonds just do diamonds, they do not make sunglasses.

- The correct information is that the sunglasses designer Barton Perreira launched a collection called Emanuelle, where the sunglasses are decorated with coloured diamonds from Lugano Diamonds. Barton Perreira is the 'star' of this post, not the second-guy, and he is a famous designer, making special sunglasses for Angelina Jolie, Mariah Carey, Lindsay Lohan, and other Hollywood stars.

So please, if you have 5 minutes left after read my comment, go to Google and find out the real story before publishing it. Go to Google and make a quick research before copy+past. This makes the difference for reliable websites.

Sincerely yours,
Paula
