Description

The default, and there’s a reason it’s the default. The black chrome heart glasses use a glossy black acetate in a squared shape with a slightly angled top corner, so there’s a bit of edge to the brow line without going full geometric. Silver fleur casting sits at each hinge and runs into an engraved silver bar set along the outside of the arm. Another cross detail caps the arm end. Etched cross on the lower right lens. Clear lenses fitted. Medium thickness, so it has presence but doesn’t dominate.

Why Choose This Product?

Black frames go with everything, so the only question is what makes one pair worth more than another. Here it’s the silver. There are four separate pieces of it, hinge castings, engraved arm bars, arm caps, and against gloss black each one reads clearly. The angled brow corner is the other detail. Small change, but it stops the frame looking like every other black rectangle on the shelf.

Care Instructions

Gloss black shows dust and fingerprints, so wipe the frame as often as the lenses. Cool water first, then microfibre. Never use alcohol wipes, they take the shine off acetate. Keep them out of hot cars. The silver arm bars darken with skin contact over time, and a dry cloth restores them. Two hands to take them off, and always into a case.

FAQs

Are these sunglasses?
No, they’re an optical frame with clear lenses. Your optician can fit a prescription or add a tint.

How much silver is on the frame?
Four pieces: a casting at each hinge, engraved bars along both arms, and caps at the arm ends.

Is the frame chunky?
Medium. Thicker than a wire frame, nowhere near as heavy as the thick brown pair.

Will the gloss scratch?
Acetate can scuff if it’s dropped or bagged loose. Keeping it cased handles that.

Do they suit most face shapes?
A squared frame suits round and oval faces best. Very angular faces may prefer a rounder shape.
