    Blue Jumper bling...bling...

    I have such a high demand for "bling" eyeglasses. Something flashy, with stones. I am having such a hard time finding something like that. We used to have some many years ago, but, it seems to me, the manufacturers aren't making them anymore, re-designed them right out! I wold LOVE some suggestions!!!

    Ottica Veneta's Sospiri line, you want bling they got it.

    I've been selling Clearvision Ellen Tracy collection "Tunis" quite a bit.
    What is reality but a concept unique to each of us? Can anything be classed as real when our perceptions differ greatly on so many things? Just because we see something a particular way does not make it so.

    You might look in to Jimmy Choo from Safilo. I think the Caviar line is a little over blown.

    Caviar and Sospiri are the bling lines; we do many and have no issues but they keep selling. Both are independents as well.

    Swarowski by Marcolin seems like an obvious choice. Also Vera Wang from Kenmark has some.

    Definitely Swarovski. My clientele is more simple/clean lines oriented (OV Peeps, Barton Perreira, Tom Ford); but when I saw the Swarovski collection I found myself really wishing I could make it work with 3-4 frames that I loved! They had/have a mint green frame that was just amazing.

    Seconding the recommendation for Kenmark's Vera Wang collection. They have a lot of shapes and styles that are 'different' and a lot of them have a good amount of 'bling'.

    Agree with the Jimmy Choo comment. Simple styles with some BLINGY temples

    Jimmy Choo is the only line that I have seen do bling that doesn't look cheap.

    Altair's Bebe line has some frames with bling. The Bebe black has some pretty big bling on them as well. Another one would be Marchon's Salvatore Ferragamo.

    Jimmy Choo and definitely Vera Wang. The VW frames have Swarovski crystals, no less.

    Jimmy Choo and the Simply Tura collection. Both sell well despite the higher price point. Those Caviar frames look like Cracker Jack prizes.

    At least 3 years ago I believe the license went to Marcolin

    I second the Vera Wang suggestion. Those are hot sellers in our optical, especially for middle aged or older ladies with small faces. Dana Buchman's line from Kenmark has some nice bling frames available as well. Those frames are also petites, mostly, but you can get larger frame sizes too.
