Rimless Shield
Sunglasses
No rim at all. The lens is cut, bevelled and drilled, then held by a gold-tone bridge and two arms. Eight tints, nothing in the way of them.
Polarised lenses with UV400 filtering.
Take the frame away
Remove the rim and the lens has to do the structural work itself. That changes what you see on the face: no outline, no border, just a sheet of colour with a gold line running through it. It is the only shape here where the tint is the whole design rather than a detail.
Shown here in Black. The same cut is offered in seven further tints.
Held at four points
A rimless lens is drilled at the bridge and at the hinge, then mounted on a metal post at each of those four points. There is nothing else holding it. The edge is bevelled rather than left square, which is what stops the outline reading as a cut sheet of plastic and lets light run along the rim instead.
The bridge and temples are a single gauge of gold-tone wire, widening into a decorative panel along the outside of each arm and finishing in a moulded tip.
Where it sits
- A large lens that covers from brow to cheekbone with no border around it
- Adjustable nose pads on metal arms set the height on the face
- The outer corner lifts slightly, which softens the coverage
- Suits every face shape — there is no frame line to balance against
Where the whole design lives
The lenses are polarised with an anti-glare treatment and full UV400 filtering across UVA and UVB. On a rimless frame that matters twice over: the lens is the only optical surface and the only visual element, so a poor one has nothing to hide behind.
Most tints run as a gradient, darker at the brow and clearing towards the lower edge. Black is the deepest; Transparent is barely tinted at all.
One cut, eight tints
All eight use the same gold-tone hardware. Only the lens changes, which on a rimless frame changes everything.
Why it costs what it costs
Rimless is the least forgiving construction in eyewear. The lens has to be cut to shape, bevelled along its whole edge and drilled without cracking, and the two sides have to match exactly because there is no rim to disguise a difference. The reject rate is higher than on any framed shape.
We sell direct. There is no shop floor and no distributor taking a cut on the way, so the retail margin that normally sits on top is not in the price. What that pays for is the lens work — on this frame, that is the product.
- Sold direct — no retail margin stacked on the frame

- Bevelled and drilled rimless lenses, not a framed shortcut

Are rimless lenses fragile?
They are less forgiving than framed ones, yes — the stress is concentrated at the drill points rather than spread around a rim. Handle them by the bridge rather than by one side and they hold up perfectly well.
Which tint should I choose?
Black or Brown if you want a working sunglass in strong sun. Rose, Blue and Purple sit lighter and read as colour rather than shade. Transparent is barely tinted and is closer to a clear frame with a filter.
Can the fit be adjusted?
Yes, at the nose. The pads sit on metal arms and can be pinched or eased to raise and lower the lens. That is the main adjustment available, since there is no rim to reshape.
Do they still cut glare?
Yes. Polarisation is in the lens, not the frame, so a rimless pair filters exactly as a framed one does. What you lose is the side coverage a thick temple would give.
Will the gold finish wear?
It is a gold plating, and it keeps its finish best when the pair goes back into its case rather than loose into a bag.
How should it be cleaned?
Rinse under cool water and dry with a soft cloth, holding the bridge rather than one lens. Avoid twisting: on a rimless pair any force goes straight into the drill points.
Eight tints, and a high reject rate
Rimless lenses crack at the drill more often than any other build, so every run yields fewer finished pairs than it starts with. Spread across eight tints, that leaves very little of each.
Pick your tint above and add it to the bag. If it is not right on your face, send it back — the only thing you risk is missing the one you wanted.
