Anna-Karin Karlsson Diamond Editions: the limited-edition frames set with real diamonds

Posted by author-avatar

The Diamond Editions are the top of the Anna-Karin Karlsson range and the frames people mean when they search “Anna-Karin Karlsson limited edition”: the Claw Plume in Gold White and in Black White, and the Rose et le Rêve Sun in Black White, each set with real diamonds in place of crystal. The house lists the stone type as real diamond on the product page, tags the frames new for 2026, and prices them accordingly: $11,090 to $11,090 at Coveti. This page says what they are, what the diamonds sit in and who they are for.

Key facts

What a Diamond Edition is

A colourway of an existing frame in which the stones are real diamonds. The house lists the stone type on every product page, and on these three it reads real diamond (on the panther frame, real diamond and zirconia). The frame itself is the same titanium and acetate as the standard colourway, plated in white gold and, on the Gold White, 24K gold, and the difference in price is the stones.

The Claw Plume Diamond Editions

The Claw Plume is the newest Claw frame, angular feathered lines in Japanese titanium with the hand-carved claw temple, 126 mm across and the narrowest fit in the house. In Gold White the frame is 24K gold and white gold with diamonds; in Black White it is black plating with white gold and diamonds, the house’s modern-goth reading of the same shape.

The Rose et le Rêve Diamond Edition

The oversized panther frame with a black acetate front and the panther set with real diamonds and zirconia. Coveti has carried a Diamond Edition of this frame since 2021 and the 2026 pair is the current version.

Who they are for

Collectors, and anyone who wears eyewear as jewellery. They are not the frames to start a collection with; the edit puts the plain titanium frames first for a reason. They are the frames to finish it with.

“Combining avant-garde design with extravagant materials and immaculate execution, each frame is a piece of art,” the house writes on annakarinkarlsson.com. “The avant-garde designs are executed only through the highest level of handcraft and exclusive materials such as 24k gold, white gold, rosé gold and titanium. Pearls, emerald stones, hand-set crystals and even diamonds decorate the ornate designs.”
