Designer Jonny Vavas of Vavas Diamond Eyewear has introduced a "signature line of hand created diamond sun glasses" that range in price from $1,200 to $10,000 depending on how many carats.
In case the diamonds aren't enough, they promise exclusivity -- only 60 pair are created per month for sale. They also boast that they sport UV400 protection and shatter resistant polycarbonate lenses.
