| 5. IRIS BY PRODESIGN |
|---|
| The Iris 5127-28 collection from ProDesign is a more classic cousin of the successful 5129-31 grouping. The line of the temple frame is repeated and this classic version of the temple pattern plays with the illusion of the empty space as a contrast to the rich, warm colors of the "jewels." The jewel decoration of the temples is symmetrical and intentional, and is inspired by the decoration of other female accessories, such as a necklace or an earring with precious stones. Two shapes, one full-rim and one semi-rimless, each in eight colors. INFO: 800-654-6099, prodesigndenmark.com |
