Gold Slim Wire Oval Metal Sunglasses with Tortoise Tips
A small oval on a wire-thin metal rim, with a straight bridge bar, adjustable nose pads on short metal arms and flat blade temples that lie close to the head.
The narrowest cut in the range, made in limited quantity.
The market square at midday
A market square at noon has no shade and no distance: people pass within arm's reach between the stalls and look straight at each other while deciding which way to step. A wire-thin rim at that range almost disappears, which leaves your own face doing the work with a gold line drawn around the eye.
Small frames read as confidence because they hide nothing. The lens is the narrowest in the range, so the metal sits just inside the line of the socket and the eyebrow stays visible above it. Blade temples lie flat to the head instead of standing off, which keeps the profile clean from the side. Take them off to look at something on a stall and nothing about your face has been concealed, so the second glance has to find another conclusion, and it concludes you chose well.
The stallholder notices them before the fruit is weighed.
A drawn rim, measured small
The rim is wire-thin drawn metal in a small oval, with a straight bridge bar and reinforced metal hinges where the arms meet the front. The lens measures 55 mm wide by 39.8 mm high on an 18 mm bridge, with 145 mm temples, which makes it the narrowest frame in the range.
Adjustable nose pads sit on short metal arms, so the height can be set rather than accepted. The temples are flat blades that lie close to the head and finish in a moulded tip, and because the rim carries almost no material, there is very little across the nose to be aware of.

The narrowest cut sells to few
A drawn metal rim this fine has to be made slowly and in limited quantity, and the small cut suits a particular face rather than every face, so the run is set small from the start. Selling direct with no retail margin on top is what keeps it at this level. A return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Choose the finish while the five are listed. If the frame turns out smaller than you pictured, send it back within fourteen days.
