Gold Sunglasses

The gold on a 9FIVE frame is genuine 24K gold plating over stainless steel, not a gold-tone finish or an anodized coating. It appears on bridges, frame inlays, temple segments, temple caps, and the barrel hinges that carry the load every time the frame opens.

Pairing real gold hardware with hand-finished Italian acetate is normally the territory of frames priced several times higher. 9FIVE has built the line around it since 2009, from $135.

Available across sunglasses, clear lens glasses, and prescription optical, in regular, narrow, and XL wide fits.
