Two rectangular lenses with softened corners, tinted an even black corner to corner and held with no rim at all. The arms are gold-toned chain links that give way to black before the ear. A slim gold bridge and two clear nose pads are the only other pieces on the front.
Nothing surrounds the glass here. The cut edge is left bare the whole way round, so the shape you see is the shape the lens was cut to: a wide rectangle, softened at each corner rather than squared off. The black holds the same depth from one side to the other, with no lighter patch near the nose. To see how the rest of the shelf solves that join, look at how the other frames here hold their lenses.
Take the front apart with your eyes and the count comes to four, all of them small and all of them gold.
| Outer corner | A ridged gold block clamped over the edge, where the arm begins. |
|---|---|
| Beside the bridge | One small gold rivet on each lens, set close to the inner edge. |
| The bridge | A slim arc, raised over the nose, the only piece crossing the middle. |
| All the way round | Nothing: the edge of the glass is exposed for its whole length. |
A bare edge reads lighter than a rimmed one, even when the tint is this dark, and the face keeps more of its own outline. That suits plain clothing better than busy prints: a white shirt, a denim jacket, a summer dress in one colour. The black tips drop away past the ear in a soft curve and are the only part of the pair that is not gold. Keep the pair with everything that finishes an outfit.
