About this item

A small, sharply styled women's cat eye frame from the mid-century era. The front is cut with pointed, stepped "winged" outer corners: a rose-pink and caramel pearlescent marbled acetate layer sits on a clear crystal acetate base, so a pale translucent step outlines the top edge and the wings. Two-dot pin rivets decorate each front corner and the matching temples, which are in a pearlescent caramel, grey-green and brown marble with a fine clear edge line and a notched ear bend. Fitted with lavender-purple tinted lenses.

• Layered construction: pearlescent pink marble over clear crystal acetate
• Uncommon lavender-purple lens tint
• Small 48mm lens size, made for a slim women's face
• Two-dot pin rivets on the front and temples
