Chantelle 937 Petite

Chantelle 937 Petite Prescription Glasses

Oval frames have a soft, gentle look that suits a lot of faces. The Chantelle 937 Petite is a unisex full-rim metal oval frame, sized 49-17-130, in Gold, Lilac or Pink. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription.

3 colours to choose from

Gold. Gold is a warm, soft gold. It brings warmth to the face and looks lovely with gold jewellery or a watch.

Lilac. Lilac is a soft, pale purple. It adds a confident touch of colour and suits fair and cool skin tones.

Pink. Pink is a soft pink. It brightens the face and has a fresh, youthful feel.

If you are stuck between two, choose the one closest to the colours you wear most. You can always add a second pair later.

Design details

Oval lenses balance square and heart-shaped faces and keep the overall look soft. Being semi-rimless, it keeps a defined top line while the lower half of the lens stays open and light.

The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

It is the kind of frame that works with most outfits, which makes the Chantelle 937 Petite an easy pick for everyday wear.

Styling tips

Choose the colour closest to what you wear most and it will go with almost everything.

Size and fit

With 49mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 17mm bridge is average. The 130mm arms are a little shorter than standard. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 115mm.

To check the fit, look at the three numbers printed inside the arm of glasses you already own. If they are within two or three millimetres, this frame should feel similar.

Lens options for the Chantelle 937 Petite

Choose the lens type that suits how you use your glasses:

• Single vision: one prescription for distance, reading or the computer.
• Progressive: near, middle and far in one lens with no line. (In the UK they call them varifocals.)
• Bifocal: a defined reading area at the bottom of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification for close work.

The 31mm lens depth is on the slim side, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work best. Stronger prescription? A high-index lens keeps things thin and light. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is worth adding too, especially if you drive at night.

Before you order

Check that your prescription is current; an eye test every couple of years is a good habit, and your optometrist will tell you how often you need one. You will also need your PD, which tells the lab where to centre the lenses so you look through the right spot. With those two things in hand, ordering takes just a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

From our lab to you

Every pair is made to order. Our UK optical lab cuts your lenses to your prescription, fits them into your Chantelle 937 Petite and then sends your glasses to you in Australia.

Looking after them

Rinse off dust before wiping, dry the lenses with a clean microfibre cloth, and take your glasses off with both hands so the arms stay straight. For more tips, see our lens care guide.

Your questions, answered

Is the Chantelle 937 Petite suitable for progressive lenses?

The 31mm lens depth is fairly shallow, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work better.

Can I wear the Chantelle 937 Petite for driving?

Yes. Single vision lenses work well for driving, and an anti-reflective coating helps cut glare from headlights at night.

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 49mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

What does semi-rimless mean?

The frame runs along the top of the lenses only. The lower edge is held by a fine line, so the bottom of the lens is open.

Where are my lenses made?

In our UK optical lab. They are cut to your prescription, fitted into your frame and then sent to you in Australia.
