Golden fancy glasses with lavender and pink shades

Round fancy sunglasses with violet and pink gradient lenses

The tint is what you notice first. It slides from violet to pink down the height of each lens, and since the two circles are cut to the same diameter the colour changes at the same level on both sides. From the front the lenses read cool at the top and warm at the bottom, which makes the metal underneath look warmer than it is on its own.

What you actually see on the frame

Five things worth knowing before you order:

• the two circles are round and matched in size;
• the rim carries a band of short notches all the way round;
• the temples are thin twisted rods rather than flat blades;
• the tips are black and bend down at the very end;
• the bridge is a plain flat bar and the nose pads are clear.

Where this pair sits in the range

Because the colour sits in the lens and not in the metal, the pair behaves like a plain rose-gold frame until the light hits it. That makes it easier to wear with a printed dress than a coloured front would be. To compare shapes, look at every round front in the sunglasses range.

If you are putting a whole summer look together, the matt black tips give you a dark note to pick up elsewhere. Our seasonal pieces for women sit one level up in the catalogue.
