The "RONSIR" was released in the late 1940s. It is Shuron's signature model and a precursor to the "browline" eyewear trend that emerged in the 1950s. The gold parts of that era were "gold-filled," a different specification from today's gold plating. Unlike plating, it does not peel and has a long lifespan. Above all, it beautifully reflects light with a golden hue. Made in the USA. Price upon inquiry (Solakzade Tel. 03-3478-3345)
