Versace,
mostly through the lenses.
Largely eyewear, men's and women's, with occasional shoes, a watch or a bag. Frames checked before they are listed.
Currently holding sunglasses and eyeglass frames, mostly, with occasional shoes and accessories. Browsing opens San Diego Jewelry Buyers, my own store, which is where the listings live.
Versace available today
Versace here is an eyewear collection more than anything else, and that is the honest description rather than the flattering one. If you came looking for handbags this is the wrong page and the handbag category is the right one.
Eyewear is the least risky way into a designer house and the easiest place to overpay. The same frame is boutique money new and a fraction of that a season later.
How do you spot fake Versace sunglasses?
No single detail settles it. These are the three we check on every Versace piece before it is listed, and the ones we look at first if you bring one in.
Model and color codes
The code printed inside the temple has to correspond to a frame that was actually produced in that colorway. Fakes routinely invent combinations.
The Medusa and Greca detailing
Depth, symmetry and finish of the Medusa head. It is the most copied element on the brand and the most consistently copied badly.
Hinges and lens marks
Hinge construction and action, plus the etched marks on the lenses where the model carries them.
Are Versace sunglasses a good buy?
Straight, not flattering.
- Eyewear is a wearable purchase rather than an investment. Buy the pair you will actually wear.
- Original case and papers help but do not transform the number.
- Condition is nearly all of it. Scratched lenses are most of the value gone.

Common questions about Versace
- Are these authentic Versace sunglasses?
- Yes. Every frame is checked in house before it is listed. We look at the model and color code printed inside the temple and confirm the frame was actually produced in that combination, then the depth and symmetry of the Medusa, the hinge construction and the etched lens markings. Anything that does not agree does not go up.
- Do the sunglasses come with a case?
- Where the original case, cloth and papers came in with the frame, they go out with it, and each listing says exactly what is included so there is no guessing. Where they did not, we say that too rather than substituting a generic case. On eyewear the case helps a little but condition of the lenses drives almost all of the value.

“It was a very pleasant experience. And my first time bringing family jewels of up to 100 years vintage to obtain evaluation which might result in a purchase. I was impressed with the ease and comfortableness. Each piece was examined and measured carefully Notations were made. I added some…”
