Julian Beaumont 898 Stainless Steel

Julian Beaumont 898 Stainless Steel Prescription Glasses

If you want a frame with a bit of attitude, start with a cat-eye. The Julian Beaumont 898 Stainless Steel is a unisex full-rim stainless steel cat-eye frame, sized 53-17-135, in Brown, Grey or Lilac. You can order it with single vision, progressive or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Julian Beaumont Collection.

Choosing your Julian Beaumont 898 Stainless Steel colour

Brown. Brown is a warm, earthy brown. It flatters warm and olive skin and works with almost any outfit.

Grey. Grey is a soft, neutral grey. It is cool, modern and understated, and it suits grey or silver hair especially well.

Lilac. Lilac is a soft, pale purple. It is softer than it sounds and looks lovely with grey or silver hair.

Each colour is shown in the gallery, so you can compare them side by side before you decide.

About the Julian Beaumont 898 Stainless Steel design

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. The arms carry a decorative pattern that adds a bit of jewellery to the frame.

Stainless steel is strong, light and resistant to corrosion, so the frame keeps its finish over time.

Whether it is your main pair or a spare, the Julian Beaumont 898 Stainless Steel is easy to live with.

Wearing it every day

Keep the rest of your look simple and let the frame do the talking. It works just as well with workwear as it does with weekend clothes.

How it fits

At 53mm per lens, it sits in the medium range, the most common adult fit. The 17mm bridge is average. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 123mm.

The easiest way to check is against glasses you already love. Most frames show their size inside the arm; if yours are close to these, you are in safe territory.

Lens options for the Julian Beaumont 898 Stainless Steel

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

• Single vision: one clear prescription across the whole lens.
• Bifocal: distance on top, a reading segment below.
• Progressive: smooth vision from near to far in one lens, no line.
• Ready readers: off-the-shelf magnification for books and screens.

The 40mm lens depth gives progressive lenses plenty of room. If your prescription is on the stronger side, a thinner high-index lens keeps the edges neat, and an anti-reflective coating means fewer distracting reflections on screens and at night.

What you need to order

Have your prescription handy before you start. It will list the sphere, cylinder and axis for each eye, and often your PD as well. If your PD is missing, your optometrist can give it to you. Then simply choose your colour and lens type, enter your prescription and add any extras, such as a thinner lens or a coating. You can review everything in your cart before you pay.

From our lab to you

Choose your colour and lenses, enter your prescription and PD, and our optical lab in the UK makes your lenses and fits them into your Julian Beaumont 898 Stainless Steel before sending them to you in Australia.

A little care goes a long way

Clean the lenses with lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before you put them down, and keep them in a hard case when they are not on your face. Our guide to caring for your lenses covers the rest.
