A pair of limited-edition E.J. I glasses created by Oliver Peoples in partnership with the Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF). Founded by Sir Elton John, the EJAF is among the largest funders of HIV/AIDS grant programs in the world, having raised over $565 million to support HIV-related programs since 1992.

First released in 1994 with portions of the sales benefitting the EJAF, these glasses feature clear yellow frames; silver-colour metal wire temples etched with filigree in the pattern of the AIDS ribbon; pearlescent rubber nose guards; and non-prescription lenses. Also included is a green, velvet-lined glasses case engraved "Elton John from Oliver Peoples" and a matching cleaning cloth. The case exhibits significant cracking and warping from age, while the cloth and lenses are stained with grime from use. Dimensions: (case) 15.25 cm x 6.5 cm x 2.5 cm (6" x 2.5" x 1")

Estimate: £1,000 - 2,000 Ω
