The acetate frames in the Ceselli collection at Lamarca sparkle naturally thanks to an intriguing artisan technique more commonly applied in jewellery
Named after an artisan technique involving particular workmanship in jewellery (“ceselli” means “chiselled” in Italian), the Ceselli collection by Lamarca Eyewear features sophisticated acetate designs worked by hand to create minute 3-dimensional “sculpted” patterns across the acetate surfaces. Referred to as the “Diamantatura” technique, and using tools which feature sharp diamonds, the result of the work is so precise and detailed that no further subsequent polishing of the frames is required once the work has been completed. Colours – and colour combinations – for each frame are selected to enhance the final “brilliance” of the surfaces, which sparkle naturally as if they were embedded with crystals – in both light and dark colours.

The latest models in the line are characterised by fresh elegant translucent colours including 3-tone combinations and single blocked tones which are on-trend this season such as red and bright blue. The particularly flattering shapes featured include a cats eye (137), a soft rectangular eye shape with a curved top line (113) and a round eye shape with a slightly angular or geometric-inspired outer edge (129) – all designs for women that combine timeless design inspiration and elements that are currently popular – particularly via the unique colour stories.
The Ceselli collection is one of several families of frames at Lamarca Eyewear, the eyewear brand by the Italian manufacturer, Trisottica – a company that has been honing its expertise in specialist techniques through three decades. In the Lamarca collection, this has allowed a high degree of innovation and artisanal design creativity and the possibility of developing a completely distinctive stylistic identity for the frames.
