Black Cat Eye Clear Lens Glasses with Gold Chain Temples
A cat-eye optical frame cut from acetate, the outer corner lifted into a sharp point, with a slim gold-tone chain-link section running most of the length of each temple.
Four finishes, and every arm is assembled rather than moulded.
Worn indoors, with no sun to explain it
A glass office corridor is lit from above and from both sides, and clear lenses have nothing to hide behind in that light. The frame is the whole of it: a cat-eye in acetate with the corner drawn up to a point, worn at the distance where people stop to talk.
Then the chain catches the ceiling light as you turn your head, because the temple changes material at the hinge and the metal runs most of the way to the ear. That is the detail that gets described later. A frame worn without sun behind it is read as a decision about the face rather than a response to the weather, and the second look tends to lift the whole impression with it.
Lift them off and set them down, and the chain is still the thing on the table.
Acetate front, chain-link arms
The front is cut from acetate as a full rim, with the bridge moulded in and the outer corner lifted into a sharp point. A full-rim acetate front is the easiest type of frame to reglaze, which is why this one is supplied clear in every colourway.
The temple changes material at the hinge: a slim gold-tone chain-link section runs most of the length of the arm before meeting a moulded tip that curves behind the ear. The lenses fitted are clear, with no tint and no filter on them, so the frame is worn as it comes or taken to an optician and reglazed to prescription.

A chain temple has to be assembled
Every arm here is an assembly rather than a single moulding, so the quantity is limited by how many chain temples get built. Sold direct with no retail margin on top, which is what keeps that work at this price, and a return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Choose a finish above and add it to the bag. If the frame is not right on your face, fourteen days is enough to send it back.
