Boucheron to launch its luxurious optical frames collection in Singapore

Singapore, 30 August 2006 -- Singapore, 30 August 2006 – French luxury-design house Boucheron will make its debut in Singapore with its first collections of gold and diamonds-studded optical frames will be shown on display to selected guests this Friday.

The collection will be exclusively available in Singapore through Spectacle’s Hut retail boutique in Marina Square.

Limited to just 40 customised pieces, these stunning spectacles are a sight to behold. For starters, the gold optical frames are made from the highest purity of gold and perfectly complemented with precious diamonds. Each model is exclusively produced at limited quantity and will carry its individual limited edition number. The collection is available in 10 models that are luxuriously comfortable with styling that seamlessly reveals the wearer’s unique beauty. The models are available with and without diamonds, either way, they bear the elegance that is known for Boucheron.

To add on, each frame has a marking inside of the temple and on the nose bridge to denominate the purity of gold; 18Kt_750 for yellow and rose gold, and 14K_585 for white gold. For yellow and rose gold, “750” designates the highest quality gold while “585” is the highest purity possible to achieve the white tone.

Redefining indulgence, the marquise or triangle-step or round-shaped diamonds are brilliantly arranged and set at the end piece, adding discreet opulence to the classic simplicity of the design. All the diamonds used in this collection are of the highest class of gems used on frames with each gem graded and classed by an international standard gem appraisal body.

For that added distinction, you’ll find the “B” icon marked on the smooth teardrop or squared tips and on the pure gold placket nose pads.

These frames carry a style that is softly spoken yet exquisitely rich in class and exclusivity. Bound by the luxury and heritage of the Boucheron brand, the distinctive frames project soft modern outlines while echoing classic proportions.

The Boucheron collections of pure gold optical frames are manufactured in Japan and distributed exclusively in the region by the Safilo Group.
