CHRONOLOGY OF BLACK OPAL APOLLO 


An homage to the Greek mythology of music, poetry, art, prophecy, and light, the Apollo sunglasses are a lavish take on his signature laurel crown. The Black Opal version features frames adorned with the rare and mesmerising gemstones renowned for their exquisite play of colour. With their show-stopping details and hypnotic range of colours, the Apollo Black Opal sunglasses reimagine the myth of Apollo in the most alluring manner.



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.
