Completely clear, right through. The chrome hearts vagillionaire ii glasses use a crystal acetate with no tint at all, so the frame picks up whatever is behind it and mostly disappears against skin. Shape is a squared rectangle with a flat brow line. Gold fleur plates sit at both hinges, and the gold catches against the clear acetate in a way silver wouldn’t. Small etched cross low on the right lens. Arms are the same crystal material with a faint speckle to them. Thick enough through the front to have real presence.

Why Choose This Product?
Clear frames flatter almost everyone, which is why they became a default. What separates one clear frame from another is the hardware, and gold on crystal is a much warmer look than the usual silver. It also means the frame works with gold jewellery, which is the sort of small thing people notice without knowing why. Optical frame, so it takes a prescription, and it’s the least aggressive pair in the whole category.
Care Instructions
Clear acetate shows everything. Wipe the frame down as often as the lenses, cool water and a microfibre cloth. Skin oil builds up around the nose bridge and turns clear acetate slightly yellow over years, so cleaning there matters more than on a dark frame. Keep them out of heat. Gold plating on the hinges wears at contact points, so dry sweat off after hot days. Always case them.

FAQs
Do clear frames go yellow?
They can over years, mostly at the nose bridge where skin oil collects. Regular wiping slows it right down.
Is the gold real?
Gold-tone plating on metal, not solid gold. It holds up with normal care.
Are these prescription ready?
Yes. They ship with clear demo lenses and an optician can fit your prescription.
Do they suit every skin tone?
Clear frames are the most forgiving there is, since they take on whatever is behind them.
How thick is the frame?
Thick enough to be visible, not chunky. Middle of the range here.
