Anna-Karin Karlsson price guide 2026: what every family costs

What Anna-Karin Karlsson sunglasses cost, family by family, from Coveti’s live catalogue on 19 September 2026. The short answer: the current range runs from $1,450 to $11,090 with a median of $2,340, the plain titanium and acetate frames sit at the bottom, the crystal frames in the middle and the Diamond Editions, set with real diamonds, at the top. Prices at Coveti are in US dollars and include authentication; most regions ship Delivered Duty Unpaid, so local duties and taxes are payable on import.

“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.”

Prices by family

What the money pays for

The gap between a plain frame and a stone-set one is the stones and the hours. A Claw Voyage is Japanese titanium with hand-applied gold plating and a claw temple cast from a hand-carved mould; a Beaming Sky adds a custom Swarovski crystal sheet set by hand; a Starry Sky is faced entirely in hand-set zirconia and weighs 128 g; a Diamond Edition Claw Plume carries real diamonds. Every one of them has the same Zeiss sun lens with the azure anti-reflective coating and the AKK logo engraved on the left lens, so the lens is not where the price moves.

Sales and second-hand

The house rarely discounts and Coveti prices the frames at full retail; the sale page explains when a markdown happens and what to expect. Second-hand pairs appear on resale sites, and the real-vs-fake guide covers what to check before paying for one, because copies of the claw and panther shapes are common and cheap.
