Are you still not over Wiz Khalifa’s Black & Yellow? Now, it’s time for black & gold. Again, a metallic monster!

An enhanced version of pilot, these half-rim glasses utilise geometry to perfection - something many of us have failed to do, during our high school mathematics classes.

Eyeglasses and jewellery have been categorised into separate categories of accessories. No longer! These glasses have smashed the classification barrier - thanks to the fine use of gold.


Cat-eye Half-rim Glasses

An angular beauty! These glasses are sharp and agile, just like the members of the cat family.

The beauty lies in the details! It’s one thing to use two or more colours, it’s another thing to use them at the right places. Here, the combination of red and gold is perfectly executed to create a contrast that is bound to catch eyes.

This is a blessing for the ladies who desire a fashionable outlook - basically all the ladies. These are quite versatile glasses and can go with almost everything in your wardrobe.

Contemporary with a touch of elegance, is how we prefer to define these rectangular half-rim glasses.

If you thought rectangular lenses depicted monotony, put these on and you will happily give up on this thought. The regular black frame, with a relatively thickened bridge is a great option for the ones with a round face shape.

Although it can fit into several occasions, these glasses are an office masterclass.

Try these on to avail the benefits of both the decent rectangular and the funky cat-eye frame.

Specially designed for office use for women, these glasses subscribe to the idea of gender parity at the workplace. But it is not at all limited here - thanks to the unique berry red frame, making it a perfect frame for every game.


What pillars are to buildings, frames are to glasses - the foundation. But there lies a catch here. While pillars may not be visible to the naked eyes, frames definitely are. Hence, it becomes imperative for you to choose a frame with a great visual appearance. These 7 half-rim frames are just the right ones.
