Caviar Turns Ray‑Ban Meta Glasses Into Numbered Gold and Silver Collectibles

The Dubai jeweler is selling cosmetic 24K-gold versions alongside a sterling-silver option with exotic-leather cases to emphasize rarity and storytelling rather than new technology.

Overview

  • Caviar announced the Odyssey collection this week and will make 24 numbered units of each finish to echo the 24 books of Homer’s Odyssey.
  • The company’s changes are strictly decorative, leaving the Ray‑Ban Meta hardware, camera, audio and AI features unchanged.
  • Reported prices place the line in the $6,130–$6,840 range and each pair ships with a premium exotic-leather charging case, though outlets differ on whether the skin is crocodile or alligator.
  • Reviewers and reporters note practical questions that Caviar has not answered, including how much the metalwork adds to weight and whether comfort and daily wearability will be affected.
  • The launch shows smart glasses have become a surface for luxury customization rather than a new technical leap, a shift that could deepen status-driven demand for wearables and revive debates over visibility and privacy.
