    Rimless Frames

    I have a patient coming in next month and wants to see something real different in a light rimless frame. He is currently in Silhouettes.

    Any suggestions?

    check out X-ICE: http://www.splitvision-eyewear.com/

    They won't let you look at the online catalogue without a username but if you watch the styles that cycle through, about the 5th is a really unusual rimless.

    I have no affiliation with this company.

    Billy Brock. Let the lens be the star, not the frame.

    Their is some really cool stuff in Chrome Hearts. Some with wood temples and sterling silver detailing. Gold and Wood is a very elegant collection that also utilizes natural materials. For something completely different try the Kamaeleon line from Bellinger. Thick interchangable temples with lots of colour and design.

    I second Minima. Not a huge fan of ChromeHearts - and their minimum buy in is crazy. I saw Gold and Wood @ VEW - nice product and they're willing to work with you on a minimum.

    I have just had the new minima 2 plus range in ,it has the option of buying different colour zyl temples and bridge that can be clipped onto the frame so you can have the frame very minimalistic or add a bit of color if you prefer ,most of my clients choose 3 different colours when they buy the frame so it is a really good add on.:cheers:

    Made me remember my CH Herman's that I left at a concert in Nashville. Damn those were some cool shades...

    O my! And that reminds me of another pair of Chrome Hearts I lost in a river on a tubing trip.....
