Crystal, and rounded rather than square. The chrome hearts clear glasses use a fully transparent acetate cut in a soft rounded shape, gentler across the brow than the rectangular frames in the range. Silver ornate plates sit along the outside of each arm at the hinge, patterned with the fleur motif, and they’re the only colour on the whole thing. Small etched cross low on the right lens. Arms are slim and clear, finishing in rounded tips. Light on the face, and against skin the frame nearly vanishes.

Why Choose This Product?
Round is the friendlier shape. Square frames add structure and can read severe on an already angular face, and a rounded clear frame does the opposite. It softens. Combined with crystal acetate, which takes on whatever is behind it, this is the least imposing pair in the category by a distance. The silver arm plates are the only thing that tells you what it is, and they only show in profile.
Care Instructions
Clear frames need cleaning more often than dark ones, because everything shows. Cool water, microfibre, frame as well as lenses. Pay attention to the nose bridge, where skin oil eventually yellows clear acetate. No alcohol or solvent wipes. No hot cars. A dry cloth on the silver plates keeps them bright, and a case stops the clear acetate picking up scuffs that would be invisible on black.

FAQs
Do clear frames suit everyone?
Close to it. They take on the tone behind them, so they don’t fight skin colour the way a strong frame colour can.
Will they yellow over time?
Only if the nose bridge isn’t cleaned. Wipe it regularly and they stay clear for years.
Is the round shape large or small?
Medium. Soft rounded rather than a small circular lens.
Can I get them tinted?
Yes, an optician can fit tinted lenses to the frame if you want sunglasses.
Where is the silver detail?
On the outside of both arms at the hinge. It only shows in profile, not from the front.
