The eyeglass case that turns into a mini bag.

20220224-111532Post-54-Astuccio

That's the latest trend: the classic eyeglass case that turns into a multiuse "bag". The comfort and usefulness of any traditional eyeglass case is combined with the convenience of being able to store other small items- ranging from your home keys to your mobile phone, from your most precious jewels to your watch or make-up products. The glasses ar...

The decorative pattern: the new frontier of lens making.

3ND can draw your favourite pattern on your new sunglasses. We can use the laser for the more particular and minimalistic decorations or create a monotone logomania of your brand or a multi-layered pattern with an iridescent and rainbow effect. There are limitless options and each one of them is about making your new sunglasses truly unique and exc...

A pavé made with diamonds: that’s how you create a luxury pattern

20220216-170709Post-52-pave-diamanti

The French term "pavé" indicates a "pavement" made of stones that are placed one close to the other. In the same way roads can be covered in porphyry and stones, the most precious surfaces can be covered in diamonds. Our glasses too can be manufactured with this particular technique. The "pavement like" arrangement increases exponentially the refra...

An evergreen: gold mask sunglasses

20220216-170519Post-51-Mascherina-Oro

Mask sunglasses aren't just a classic eyewear style. Mask sunglass models have always represented one of the fundamental trends in the eyewear industry and we thought about proposing it again in a "gold" version. Thanks to the combination of an unbeatable style and a bit of a "street" one with the use of gold we have created a truly uncommon but co...

A leather cover for a truly old style pair of glasses

20220216-170412Post-50-Pelle

We also thought about designing some models for our more nostalgic clients. The leather cover we created on our gold frames indeed produces a very particular mix between a lavish and a vintage effect. The roughness and smoothness of the leather matches perfectly with the brightness and hardness of the metal, creating the ideal combination for those...

The art of Russian engraving on your eyewear

20220211-173137Post-49-Cesellatura

It's possible to create really anything on metals. We can even give an elegant finish to the surfaces of our frames with very particular decorative techniques such as engraving, which is a very ancient process that requires exclusive manual craftsmanship. Thanks to the use of the chisel and the expert hands of our artisans it's possible to draw any...

Did you know you could pick the gold that makes you stand out the most?

20220211-172943Post-48-Oro

Natural gold has a bright yellow colour, almost bordering on orange. However, when this is processed the colour changes, both after the various processes it goes through and especially when it is mixed with other alloys. For example, white gold is obtained by mixing gold with nickel and palladium, while the black one is the result of different type...

With us you can wear leather while respecting nature and the environment

20220211-172850Post-47-acetato-pelle

Our acetate frames can be manufactured with a specific feature: thanks to a special brushing phase we can give our acetate sheets a "leather effect" finish. Animal lovers and those who prefer ad hoc-made synthetic materials no longer have to give up on the "ribbed" and smooth effect of real leather. Furthermore, this "leather effect" can also be cr...

Your work is a source of inspiration

The forecasting trend for the new collections

20220211-172700Post-45-tessuti

We're not just about eyewear; fashion is basically everywhere. Fashion is not just about what you wear but about whatever calls the shots when it comes to consumption: colours, materials, texture and any stylish element, ranging from catwalks to the latest car models, from jewellery to architecture. Studying trends in different sectors and the inno...

Can you keep a secret?

20220211-172604Post-44-segretezza

When you create something beautiful it almost comes natural to share it with others and to show them what you can do. The moment a new model has come to light, following months of studies, research and planning, and after quality checks and perfecting every detail, it would be fantastic for us to share our new creation with the public. If we don't ...

Our glasses reflect our passion for elegance and sophistication. The inspiration to create our products comes from our love for the most precious and beautiful things.

Our artisans keep up with the times

20220211-172323Post-42-artigiano

Our artisans represent the soul of our company. A machine can pretty much create a perfect product, without any flaws and imperfections- a series of glasses that look exactly the same- but the experienced hands of those working in the field add something that machines just can't. Each piece is unique and attention is paid to every single detail and...

Everyone wears them but only a few actually know them

20220211-172207Post-41-occhiale-scomposto

Everyone has at least one pair (often even more, so they can choose which one to wear based on the specific occasion). Even though up until a few years ago they were considered tinsels that only served the purpose of helping you to see better, today they are the ultimate accessories. Essentially they're on everyone's lips (ahem...and face?). Do you...

To each his own...colour

20220211-172107Post-40-colori-lenti

What would be the right colour for your glasses? At 3ND we are also good at this. In fact we offer our expertise, filled with design and styling know-hows and good taste. We start by choosing the main colour- for the frame- and then decide the most appropriate lens to use. Do you need a solid tinted or a gradient one? Category 1, 2 or 3? A mirror-c...

Gold antireflective coating: the fashion of the future

20220211-171950Post-39-AR-Gold

Antireflective coating has always represented one of the most important processes for traditional eyewear manufacturers. The process entails the application of an extremely thin coating on the internal side of the lenses, leaving the usual blue or green tones. For our lenses we chose a gold antireflective coating instead- with two versions availabl...

You will shine from any angle

20220211-171811Post-38-Pav

You can add different sizes and cuts of diamonds even on the temples of 3ND glasses. You could choose a high-carat stone to emphasise an individual stone and give it the attention it deserves or you could pick a pavé setting, whereby the insertion of a "pavement" of several small stones creates a layer on the surface. One thing is certain: you will...

Let’s pay attention to what really matters

20220211-171626Post-37-Diamanti

People say that diamonds are a woman's best friend; we took this literally. You can't change your friends' features to suit your taste but you can definitively do this with diamonds. In fact, you can have any shape of diamonds set on your glasses- would you like a round, pear, oval, heart-shaped diamond or an emerald cut? Most importantly, you can ...

The charm of Cat 4 sunglasses

20220211-171544Post-36-lenti-pattern

Hiding behind dark sunglasses is not in fashion anymore. This is no longer the age of Audrey Hepburn and her Manhattan black wood sunglasses from "Breakfast at Tiffany's". Today dark lenses have made a (huge) step forward. 3ND gives you the option to personalise every single element of the glasses, even- and not only- the lenses. How so? By creatin...

No one does it like we do

20220211-171307Post-35-acetato

Gluing the sheets of acetate represents a widespread practice that has been there since the beginning of time. Yet no one does it like we do. Manufacturing companies can usually cure up to five different colours but we bend over backwards (not in other directions yet) and, thanks to a completely manual process, we can glue up to fifteen different o...
