There’s something special about a crystal finish frame. Helena wears hers from

Near transparent acetate allows the structure to speak for itself; the core wire, the hinge detail, how light moves through the material.

Clear tones also ask more of the craftsmanship. Polishing, edge finish, lens choice - as it all shows, the quality needs to be right.

If you’re drawn to minimalism but still want great design, crystal acetate is worth a close-up.
