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 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.
