Sometimes along comes a custom job that makes me sit up and get extra accurate.
I wanted the customer to understand I was legally prevented to make a replica, Note that I hadn't met the customer, nor am I likely to during the making of the frame.
I chose 9 karat gold for its colour, strength and relative light-weight compared to other

eyeglasses in silvereyeglasses frame no 421, stg sileyeglasses frame no 422, stg silAn opus number is given to each frame as I build them, and so is unique to a frame. (frame no 422 construction details) Custom frames based on these designs, or indeed on other designs, may be commissioned from me. The process takes up to 8 weeks, depending of the complexity of the design.Looking Glassesframe no 418, 2006Frame no 418 was custom-built (above) for a customer with very particular optical requirements. My Looking Glasses design, as my most plain and functional, was quite easily adapted. A second frame, no 420 (below), was also commissioned to the exact same specifications.Endorsement from the owner of 418 and 420:My 'seeing eyeglass', incorporating the proven features of my previous frames and the insight of my optometrist, evolved from the 'Looking Glasses' - a custom frame in Brian's early collection. The design features small discs centric to my pupils. The result is lenses free of peripheral distortion, despite my severe myopia and astigmatism.The perfectly round discs also permit lens rotation to accommodate minor cornel changes that recur from time to time. The vague sense of disorientation and dull headaches that have been a problem since giving up my contact lenses have vanished.[more...]Schubertframe no 398, sterlingSchubert in silver.
