Chantelle 981 Petite Swarovski Crystal Prescription Glasses

If you want glasses that look smart and get out of the way, a rectangle is hard to beat. The Chantelle 981 Petite Swarovski Crystal is a unisex full-rim metal rectangular frame, sized 48-15-135, in Light Green, Lilac or Pink. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription.

Which colour is you?

Light Green. Light Green keeps things simple. It is unusual without being loud, and it looks fantastic with red, auburn or dark hair.

Lilac. Lilac is a soft, pale purple. It brings a little personality without overpowering your features.

Pink. Pink is a soft pink. It is soft and pretty, and it suits fair and cool skin tones.

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

Why you will like it

Rectangular lenses suit round and oval faces, adding a bit of definition. Decorative arms give the frame a finished, designer feel when you see it side on.

The patterned finish means no two angles look quite the same. The slim metal construction keeps it light and neat, and it is easy for an optician to adjust.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Chantelle 981 Petite Swarovski Crystal is a strong choice.

Wearing it every day

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

How it fits

With 48mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 15mm bridge is narrow, so it sits securely on a slimmer nose. The 135mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 111mm.

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 Chantelle 981 Petite Swarovski Crystal

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

• Single vision: the same prescription from edge to edge.
• Bifocal: distance at the top and a reading segment at the bottom.
• Varifocal: a smooth change from distance to reading, with no line.
• Ready readers: a fixed magnification for books, phones and screens.

The 30mm lens depth is on the slim side, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work best. With a stronger prescription, a thinner high-index lens keeps the edges slim, and an anti-reflective coating cuts reflections from screens and street lights.

Ordering online is simple

You need a valid prescription from your optician and your pupillary distance (PD), the distance between your pupils. Many opticians include your PD on the prescription; if yours does not, just ask for it. Choose your colour, pick your lens type, enter your details and add any lens upgrades. If you are unsure about size, compare the measurements above with a pair you already wear.

From our lab to you

Pick your colour and lenses, add your prescription and PD, and our UK lab cuts your lenses and fits them into your Chantelle 981 Petite Swarovski Crystal. Every pair is checked before it leaves us.

Looking after them

Rinse off any grit before you wipe, dry the lenses with a clean microfibre cloth, and take your glasses off with both hands so the arms stay aligned. See our lens care guide for more.
