Fashion :: This summer's most expensive accessory? Sunglasses

Summer time is rapidly approaching so get glammed up and head to the beach. Protect your little peepers from the sun's harmful effects with this year's quintessential accessory, sunglasses. The trend of "the bigger the better" doesn't seem to be fading, so make sure to settle for nothing less than the newest, most blinged-out pair of shades around.

I'm not talking about a $350 pair of Oliver Peoples or even a $500 pair of Chanels. It's time to get serious with the uber-luxe and over-sized, and grab those custom crafted by Franco Vahe. His Due 24 sunglasses included in the Luxuriator Collection have a 2 carat canary diamond and 132 handset pave diamonds, making the total carat weight just under 3.5. Watch out for sticker shock...these babies will put you back $65,000.

Yes, for the same price as a brand new Jaguar, you too can look summer fab while mingling with celebs and socialites in the Hamptons, Malibu or Cabo. At a time when the rich get richer, society's elite have to spend their money on something, and this year it comes in the form of customized shades.

So don't hate, participate. With summer comes lots of sun, so grab those sunglasses.
