Tortoise Panto Sunglasses

A rounded panto frame cut from tortoiseshell acetate — near-black at the brow, breaking into amber wherever the light gets through it. The lenses graduate from deep blue at the top to almost clear at the bottom, so they read as sunglasses across a room and still let you see what your hands are doing. A small gold arrow is set into each end piece. The side shot is there because the temple is thicker than the front lets on.
