Masters of Craft

Masunaga 1905 · Fukui, Japan

For more than a century, the workshops of Masunaga in Fukui, Japan have shaped titanium by hand. Masters of Craft gathers that knowledge into a handful of designs, each finished by the house's most senior artisans and made with carefully selected materials.

Every design is made in a single run of 150 pieces and offered by just 100 opticians worldwide. Few will ever be seen twice.

Since 1969

The boutique Delhi has trusted for five decades, now delivered to you

GEM Opticians was founded in 1969 by Shri R.K. Kataria in New Delhi's South Extension, at a time when luxury eyewear in India was barely explored. In 1985 Mr Rajiv Kataria, a Fellow of the Association of British Dispensing Opticians, took over the reins, and in 1996 GEM became the first to bring CHANEL eyewear to India.

Over five decades we have looked after diplomats, film stars and, most recently, the President of India. Today the same care reaches clients across India and the world through gemopticians.com, backed by three Delhi boutiques.

"GEM Opticians are not only people of vision, they are real pride of India."H.E. Mr Hassan M. Rafei Al-Emadi, Ambassador of Qatar to India

About GEM Opticians, luxury eyewear since 1969

Is GEM Opticians an authorised retailer?

Yes. GEM Opticians is an authorised retailer for the eyewear brands we carry, including Cartier, Dior, Tom Ford, Gucci, Prada, Saint Laurent, Jacques Marie Mage and Masunaga. Every piece is sourced from the brand or its authorised distributor and comes with a 1-year brand warranty.

Where are GEM Opticians boutiques in Delhi?

We have three boutiques: our flagship at South Extension I, opened in 1969, and boutiques at Ambience Mall, Vasant Kunj and Select Citywalk, Saket. You can book an eye test or a styling appointment at any of them.

Do you deliver across India and internationally?

Yes. Orders from gemopticians.com are shipped insured and tracked across India, and we have delivered to clients in more than 40 countries.

Can I order prescription glasses online?

Yes. Choose any optical frame from GEM, or send us a pair you already own. Share your prescription on WhatsApp or upload it, and our opticians will recommend and fit the right lenses, from single vision to progressives.

What is the difference between polarised and photochromic lenses?

Polarised lenses filter the reflected glare that bounces off water, roads and glass, so colours look truer and your eyes relax. Photochromic lenses are clear indoors and darken automatically in sunlight, so one pair works all day.

Which luxury eyewear brands do you carry?

More than 100, including Cartier, Christian Dior, Chanel, Tom Ford, Gucci, Prada, Saint Laurent, Bvlgari, Montblanc, Maybach, Jacques Marie Mage, T Henri, Akoni, Lindberg, Mykita and Masunaga, alongside Ray-Ban and Oakley including Meta smart glasses.

Do you have limited edition and collector eyewear?

Yes. We carry numbered, limited edition pieces from houses such as Jacques Marie Mage, T Henri, Akoni and Masunaga Masters of Craft, and a private collection of rare pieces is coming soon in The GEM Vault.
