Gemini, an eyewear brand based in the Campania Region of Southern Italy, presents a new collection that blends eyewear and jewelry in collaboration with Boulon, an Italian brand that offers innovative concepts in jewelry. Ciro Lago, Founder of Gemini Eyewear and Ernesto Gravante, Designer “We had already started to explore the possible interaction between the worlds of eyewear and accessories with the Naples collection, but the first time we met the world of jewelry was through our Prochyta, a model with jewels that can be attached and detached on the temples. We then wanted to give customers the chance not only to wear these jewels on the glasses, but also to wear them separately. The Boulon brand has been accompanying our idea of harmonizing the jewelry elements and thus creating a more wearable product. We are very pleased with this collaboration.” “Gemini’s offer was very attractive because we share the same production and planning values and create customized products. Thanks to this project, we have created a concept that serves the larger system where every piece of both types of accessories interacts,” added Mimmo Rocco, Boulon Designer.
