vintage 1950s cat eye glasses Rhinestone sunglasses frames
Amazing vintage 1950s black winged cat eye sunglasses with green lenses and aurora borealis stones, along with inset metal detailing and stars!
The frame front is black plastic, the arms are metal.
The arms have shiny/ enamel finish at the fronts, with a more matte finish from about the temples to the end of the ear pieces; silver metal etched scroll work, as shown.
14 "stones" on each winged, cat eye corner; there are what look like tiny copper prongs at one corner of each stone holding them in place- and all are present!
Inset metal stars on the front corner of each side, etched scroll work as well.
The only mark on the frames is "LARGE" on the inner left front.
If these are Rx lenses, the Rx is slight; do plan on having new lenses put in.
Slight surface marks to the lenses, no major scratches, scuffs, issues.
The frames look very good; some slight bowing to the arms.
The inner right screw is a bit longer than the left, likely a replacement, simply worth noting.
Ideal as sunglasses or prescription glasses- these rock!
Any vintage frames may need slight adjustments to fit your face- this can be done by a skilled optician.
Measurements:
5- 15/16" across the front of the frame / 151 mm
1- 9/16" frame height / 39 mm
arms are 5- 3/8" overall length from the hinge / 138 mm
