Vintage Hodes Rhinestone Sunglasses 48-22 Made in U.S.A.
Overview
This is Hodes exactly as it should be—bold, jeweled, expressive.
The Hodes delivers a rounded rectangular silhouette with softly lifted edges, finished with rhinestone-style side accents. The translucent blue-gray frame gives it strong visual presence, while the purple-to-blue gradient lenses keep it wearable.
Pre-owned vintage condition with visible age-related wear, hardware patina, and light surface marks.
