Everyone has at least one pair (often even more, so they can choose which one to wear based on the specific occasion). Even though up until a few years ago they were considered tinsels that only served the purpose of helping you to see better, today they are the ultimate accessories. Essentially they're on everyone's lips (ahem...and face?). Do you....
What would be the right colour for your glasses? At 3ND we are also good at this. In fact we offer our expertise, filled with design and styling know-hows and good taste. We start by choosing the main colour- for the frame- and then decide the most appropriate lens to use. Do you need a solid tinted or a gradient one? Category 1, 2 or 3? A mirror-c....
Antireflective coating has always represented one of the most important processes for traditional eyewear manufacturers. The process entails the application of an extremely thin coating on the internal side of the lenses, leaving the usual blue or green tones. For our lenses we chose a gold antireflective coating instead- with two versions availabl....
You can add different sizes and cuts of diamonds even on the temples of 3ND glasses. You could choose a high-carat stone to emphasise an individual stone and give it the attention it deserves or you could pick a pavé setting, whereby the insertion of a "pavement" of several small stones creates a layer on the surface. One thing is certain: you will....
People say that diamonds are a woman's best friend; we took this literally. You can't change your friends' features to suit your taste but you can definitively do this with diamonds. In fact, you can have any shape of diamonds set on your glasses- would you like a round, pear, oval, heart-shaped diamond or an emerald cut? Most importantly, you can ....
Hiding behind dark sunglasses is not in fashion anymore. This is no longer the age of Audrey Hepburn and her Manhattan black wood sunglasses from "Breakfast at Tiffany's". Today dark lenses have made a (huge) step forward. 3ND gives you the option to personalise every single element of the glasses, even- and not only- the lenses. How so? By creatin....
Gluing the sheets of acetate represents a widespread practice that has been there since the beginning of time. Yet no one does it like we do. Manufacturing companies can usually cure up to five different colours but we bend over backwards (not in other directions yet) and, thanks to a completely manual process, we can glue up to fifteen different o....
Hinges are useful, but we'd be happier if we could do without them. The constant study of the design and functionality of our glasses enabled us to hide the hinges of the temples in many of the models we made. We designed a hidden system that ensures you can open and close the temples on your glasses perfectly, but we prefer not to show them when t....
We like to create glasses that last forever. We also like the idea that our glasses won't deteriorate nor change over time. You can enjoy these precious properties thanks to our gold and also other details that might seem less remarkable. Nose pads are an example. They are usually made with PVC and might give allergies or intolerances- especially w....
Our glasses can be engraved, just like precious jewels: this is a completely manual technique to impress any design on a metallic surface. Engraving gold can produce a particularly impressive result as the wonderful 3D effect makes the surface even more precious. The fact that it is realised exclusively with non-mechanical tools adds value to the p....
