Chantelle Petite 994 Swarovski Crystal

Chantelle Petite 994 Swarovski Crystal Prescription Glasses

A softly squared frame is one of the most versatile shapes around. The Chantelle Petite 994 Swarovski Crystal is a unisex semi-rimless metal soft square frame, sized 50-16-130, in Burgundy, Gold or Green. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription.

3 colours to choose from

Burgundy. Burgundy is a deep wine red. It is a grown-up way to wear colour.

Gold. Gold is a warm, soft gold. It suits warm and olive skin tones beautifully.

Green. Green is an earthy green. It brings out brown, hazel and green eyes.

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

About the Chantelle Petite 994 Swarovski Crystal design

The softened corners suit round, oval and heart-shaped faces, adding a little shape without looking severe. Being semi-rimless, it keeps a defined top line while the lower half of the lens stays open and light.

Take a look at the arms: the detailing there is what makes this frame special. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

The Chantelle Petite 994 Swarovski Crystal is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Wearing it every day

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

Size and fit

With 50mm lenses, this is a compact frame that suits smaller faces. The 16mm bridge is on the narrow side. The 130mm arms are a little shorter than standard. Across the lenses and bridge it measures about 116mm.

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 Petite 994 Swarovski Crystal

Your optician’s prescription will usually tell you which of these you need:

• 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 32mm 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.

How your glasses are made

Your Chantelle Petite 994 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.

A little care goes a long way

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.

Your questions, answered

Is the Chantelle Petite 994 Swarovski Crystal suitable for varifocals?

The 32mm lens depth is fairly shallow, so single vision or bifocal lenses usually work better.

Can I use the Chantelle Petite 994 Swarovski Crystal as computer glasses?

Yes. Single vision lenses set to your screen distance work well for desk work.

Is it a small frame?

Yes. With 50mm lenses it suits smaller faces.

Will it suit a narrow nose?

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

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.

Do you make the lenses yourselves?

Yes. Every pair is made to order in our UK optical lab, where your lenses are cut to your prescription and fitted into your frame.
