Luxury Glasses: How to Recognize the Original

Luxury Glasses: How to Recognize the Original

Purchasing a pair of luxury glasses means investing in quality, style, and authenticity. However, the market is flooded with well-made fakes and counterfeit models sold online or in unreliable stores.

In this article, we show you how to recognize an original luxury pair of glasses, with practical advice, key signs, and a selection of authentic brands available at Centro Ottico Rizzo.

The 7 Signs to Recognize an Original Pair of Glasses

✅ 1. Precisely engraved or printed logo

Check that the logo is:

• Laser engraved or printed without smudges
• In a position consistent with the brand (e.g. inside the left arm)

✅ 2. Serial number and model code

Original glasses display:

• Model code (e.g. GG0026O 001 52[]18 140)
• Color code and size
• Codes often engraved on arms and printed on the packaging

✅ 3. Quality of materials

Authentic materials can be recognized:

• By touch: weight, rigidity, finish
• By sight: uniform gloss, no raw plastic

✅ 4. Finishes and screws

A counterfeit pair often has:

• Visible screws, not sunk
• Not smooth hinges
• Parts glued instead of precisely assembled

✅ 5. Original case and accessories

Real luxury glasses come with:

• Quality branded case
• Microfiber cloth
• Authenticity booklet (in some cases)

✅ 6. Provenance and retailer

Only purchase from certified opticians, official stores, or authorized e-commerce to sell luxury brands.

✅ 7. Price too low = risk

If a pair of glasses priced at €400 is sold for €89, it is almost certainly a fake. Beware of offers that are "too good to be true".
