Your spec

From acrylic eyewear to your most elaborate vision

A clean acrylic frame with no embellishment is straightforward manufacturing. A fully custom pair of eyewear with rhinestone / crystal detailing across the temples and bridge is what most brands actually brief our production team to develop. The elaborate end is the norm here, not the exception.
