Gold & Wood Eyeglasses & Frames for Women
Inspired by Mother Nature, Designed for Us Girls
Women are famously fascinated with all things beautiful and exquisite. Knowing that there is nothing more beautiful than nature and hardly anything more exquisite than the sparkling of pure gold, the daring dreamers from Luxembourg have come up with a perfect way to weave the two together—in their delicately charming, boldly luxurious collection of eyeglasses for women. After all, your eyes deserve a frame as dazzling as they are. That's what these dreamy and daring folks decided when they met up one fine sunny day (or maybe rainy and dull, but anyways fateful). They also decided, "Hey, why don't we name ourselves Gold & Wood and make glasses?" And so they did—by combining rare wood, genuine gold, natural silk, and sustainably sourced water buffalo horn into frames just as rare and genuine, the ones you can see here, on this page.
So, wood, you say? And gold! And silk, good heavens! How can the three even be used in glasses? And if they can, how can they be used all in one frame? The simplest way to give an answer would be: come to our store, look through the models, and see for yourself (that would also be the most enjoyable way to get that answer, for that matter). But if you're interested in technical specifics, well, buckle up! Just make sure to come to our store and check out the glasses, or better still, try them on. Because bare words can’t really describe the result, nor do they capture the live magic of Gold & Wood frames. So, start getting dressed and read on!
How Gold & Wood Eyeglasses Are Made
- The Right Kind of Wood: First, the label sets out to find the rarest, noblest, most precious wood species to turn into glasses. So far, they've landed 12 unmissable picks, among them the magnificent Carolina pine tree known for its exceptional resilience and sleek texture, as well as the mysterious Koto tree carrying the entire warmth of the African sun in its fabulous tints. Each design calls for a tree of its own, so the search goes on and on.
- Metal Base, Veneer Finish: These exclusive, exquisite pieces of wood are then softened and cut into ultrathin, ultralight veneers, which are further dried and trimmed, sometimes also dyed, before being layered onto a metal frame (just as thin and light) that makes up the base of a future eyewear masterpiece. Can you feel it, can you? Right, that's the Gold & Wood magic brewing up!
- Gold is Gold, Plated or Solid: There are many ways in which the brand gives its frames that enchanting Midas touch. For starters, some frames get a gold bath, literally, being dipped into a precious solution of genuine gold to cover them with that sleek, glossy, mesmerizing polish. It's called gold plating. Other times, pieces of solid gold are incorporated right into the frame, either on their own or in a striking tandem with wood.
- Silky Touch and Eco Dyes: Natural silk is used for soft, gentle accents, adding textural versatility and extra delicacy. It's also dyed by hand using natural pigments to keep the design not just visually astonishing but also skin-friendly and hypoallergenic (as well as the production process sustainable). One of the lightest, smoothest, and shiniest fabrics on the whole wide earth, silk makes a really fine team with wood and gold.
- No Buffalo Harmed for That Awesome Horn: This premium material looks rich and full of character. Besides, it weighs mere ounces while being extremely robust. Gold & Wold uses horns left behind by water buffalos, keeping its supply chain eco-friendly and ethical. Adding them as accent fragments here and there instantly infuses any pair of glasses with a refined, classy, high-end charm.
Gilded by Imagination, Rooted in Precision
That's only a basic outline of the whole thing, though. A description of what is done, nothing more. The real beauty of it all is in how it is done. And here, Gold & Wood demonstrates nothing short of artistry, even in the seemingly dull, purely technical processes like cutting, fitting, adjusting, polishing… etc etc. Every line is a geometric perfection, and every curve seems to flow. Every single detail of the frame knows its place and works in seamless tune with the rest of the elements. The hinges move smoothly, the temples fit softly, the bridges never weigh down on your nose, and the pads never pinch or leave any marks when you take your glasses off after wearing them all day.
All of this handmade, nature-inspired, breathtaking goodness shimmers with the smoothest of finishes, dazzles with the finest of filigree, and touches your skin like the gentlest whisper, keeping you wrapped in comfort and luxury for countless hours. Gold & Wood eyeglasses for women are really some of the most unique, truly outstanding ones you can come across today, with a decent variety of styles to explore.

FAQ
Wood and gold sound heavy. Are these frames even light enough for everyday wear?
Absolutely! In designing its frames, the label uses the thinnest layers of wood and gold to keep the weight down to a bare minimum. Besides, Gold & Wood seeks out only the lightest wood species and keeps a keen eye on the weight balance of every pair. You won't feel any extra pressure, no matter how long you have your glasses on.
I feel worried for the buffalos. How does Gold & Wood source buffalo horn for its glasses?
Fear not! The company only uses horns left behind by water buffalos after their life cycle is over. Gold & Wood doesn't cut horns from buffalos just like that, nor does it breed or harm buffalos for horns in any other way.
