The rivà oval

Bellagio

£158

The frame rivà was built around. A rimless oval with a charm at the temple, hung so it moves when you do. The charm is 18K gold plated stainless steel, 10mm by 7mm, small enough to be noticed only up close.

The rivà corrente

Arrives in the rivà corrente, with the protective pouch and signature box. The case is yours to carry.

The fit

Who it suits.

Sunglasses only look expensive when they fit the face wearing them. An honest guide, so the Bellagio goes to the right home first time.

Best suited for

Oval

Balanced proportions, nothing to correct.

Square

The oval line eases a strong jaw.

Heart

The charm draws the eye down from a wider brow.

Round

A slim rimless lens lengthens rather than widens.

Less suited for

Oblong

A slim lens can read small on a longer face.

Diamond

May sit wide at the cheekbones.

Why it works

  • The charm moves as you do, which is what makes it jewellery.
  • Rimless keeps a decorated frame from ever looking heavy.
  • Tortoise tips keep the gold from feeling cold.

Between two shapes? Most faces are. If it sits comfortably on the bridge and the lens follows your cheekbone without touching it, it fits.

Worn

Away from the plate.

A packshot tells you the shape. These tell you the scale, and how the charm sits once it is on a face.
