Black Oversized Shield Sunglasses with Gradient Lenses
An oversized shield with a flat brow bar running straight from hinge to hinge and a single unbroken lower edge that sweeps down and back.
Five finishes on one shield front, each in a small run.
Walking into a shop that watches the door
A boutique is a room where somebody is paid to read you the moment you come in, from the door to the mirror, and the shield is the first thing through it. One unbroken lens from hinge to hinge changes the outline of the head rather than decorating the face.
That is a lot of frame to carry, and carrying it is the point. The brow bar holds the line straight across while the lower edge sweeps away, so the shape is read as architecture rather than as sunglasses, and the gold-tone marker at the joint is the only hardware on it. By the time you push them up to look at something properly, the assistant has already decided who walked in.
They come off at the mirror, and the room keeps the outline.
One lens, hinge to hinge
The front is a single unbroken lens, with a flat brow bar running straight from hinge to hinge and a lower edge that sweeps down and back in one line. It is a one-piece shield on a high-quality PC frame, with gradient UV400 lenses.
The temples are cut thick at the hinge and taper towards the ear, with a small gold-tone metal marker at each joint as the only hardware on the frame. The gradient runs dark at the brow and clears towards the lower edge, which on a lens this deep keeps the lower field of vision open.

A one-piece lens sets the limit
A shield is cut as one lens rather than as a pair, which means a single flaw takes the whole piece, so the yield per run is low. Sold direct with no retail margin on top, which is what keeps a one-piece shield lens at this price, and a return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Choose a finish above and add it to the bag. Fourteen days is enough to wear them out and send them back if the depth is not yours.
