CHRONOLOGY OF BLACK OPAL APOLLO
The Most Precious Of Stones
Derived from the Sanskrit word upala, the name opal literally translates to “precious stone.” The highly treasured gemstone has enthralled civilizations since the dawn of time thanks to its kaleidoscopic inner fire. This enchanting characteristic is unique to the opal, ensuring that no two gems are the same. The black opal is the rarest and most coveted variety of opal, as its dark background illuminates the play of colour better than any other.
A Mission Of Excellence
Just as Apollo relentlessly pursued his love, Daphne, Andre Montana and his team travel to the far corners of the earth each year to source the most beautiful and highest quality black opals available. Every frame features gems from Lightning Ridge, Australia, a small outback town renowned for its deposits of stunning black opals with a heightened display of fire. These precious stones have become a cornerstone of Australian culture, and are the pride of the communities who ethically source them.
Eternal Glory
Centuries of legendary myths and symbolism are encased in the intricate framework of the Apollo Black Opal sunglasses. An enduring reminder of Apollo’s glory, the laurel crown remains a symbol of victory and triumph. With their otherworldly beauty and inner fire, black opals have long been a symbol of creativity and ingenuity.
Each pair is a bejewelled masterpiece that harmonises success and inventiveness. Wearing them instils a sense of artistry while encouraging greatness. The delicately tinted lenses are encircled by lustrous gold frames enhanced with the signature laurel motif at the temples. Each curve and fine detail represents a commitment to eminence, while exuding sophistication and beauty.
Elite Craftsmanship
Our Apollo Black Opal sunglasses are as rare and precious as the gems that adorn them. Each pair is meticulously handcrafted by artisans in our Japanese factories using the finest quality materials. Aside from our prestigious Australian black opals, our eyewear is made using 24 karat gold and premium grade titanium to ensure durability and longevity. Each frame undergoes a long and meticulous design journey, from the initial hand-drawn designs by Andre Montana to the final quality checks. Only 200 pairs exist in the world - will you be one of the fortunate few that calls them their own?
