Chantelle 971 Swarovski Crystal

Chantelle 971 Swarovski Crystal Prescription Glasses

Soft corners take the edge off a square shape and make it easy to wear every day. The Chantelle 971 Swarovski Crystal is a unisex full-rim soft square frame, sized 54-16-140, in Dark Blue. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription.

About the Chantelle 971 Swarovski Crystal colour

Dark Blue. In Dark Blue, the frame is navy and tortoiseshell. It reads as smart and dark from a distance, with a little more personality up close.

Why you will like it

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. The arms carry a decorative pattern that adds a bit of jewellery to the frame.

If you want a frame you can put on in the morning and forget about, the Chantelle 971 Swarovski Crystal is a strong choice.

Styling tips

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

How it fits

The 54mm lenses put it at the upper end of medium. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 140mm arms are a standard length. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 124mm.

Not sure about sizing? Compare these numbers with the ones on the inside arm of a pair that fits you well. A difference of two or three millimetres or less usually means a similar fit.

Lens options for the Chantelle 971 Swarovski Crystal

Pick the lenses that match your prescription:

• Single vision: one prescription across the whole lens, for distance, reading or the computer.
• Varifocal: near, intermediate and distance in one lens, with no visible line.
• Bifocal: a separate reading segment in the lower part of the lens.
• Ready readers: simple magnification if you just need help with close work.

The 37mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many varifocal lenses. 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.

Before you order

Make sure your prescription is in date; most adults in the UK are advised to have an eye test every two years, and your optician will tell you if you need one sooner. You will also need your PD, which tells our lab where to centre the lenses. With those two things ready, ordering takes a few minutes: choose your colour, pick your lenses, enter your details and you are done.

From our lab to you

Your Chantelle 971 Swarovski Crystal is glazed in our UK-based lab. Once you have chosen your lenses and entered your prescription, we cut and fit the lenses and check the finished glasses before they go out.

Looking after them

Clean your lenses with a microfibre cloth rather than your jumper, keep them in their case when they are in your bag, and do not leave them on a sunny car dashboard. Our lens care guide has more tips.

Questions we often get

Can I get varifocal lenses in the Chantelle 971 Swarovski Crystal?

Yes. The 37mm lens depth gives varifocal lenses enough height for all three vision zones.

Is the Chantelle 971 Swarovski Crystal comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes. It is a lightweight frame, and a thinner lens for a stronger prescription keeps the weight down even further.

What size is it?

It is size 54-16-140: 54mm lens width, 16mm bridge and 140mm arms, a medium fit.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

Yes. The 16mm bridge is designed for slimmer noses.

Who glazes my lenses?
