Ferucci 1828

Ferucci 1828 Prescription Glasses

Cat-eye frames manage to look glamorous and practical at the same time. The Ferucci 1828 is a women’s full-rim metal cat-eye frame, sized 48-16-130, in Light Gunmetal or Pink. You can order it with single vision, varifocal or bifocal lenses made to your prescription. It belongs to the Ferucci range.

Choosing your Ferucci 1828 colour

Light Gunmetal. Light Gunmetal is a pale, silvery grey metal. It is a quiet, professional finish that works with navy, charcoal and white.

Pink. The Pink version is rose. It pairs nicely with neutrals, white and rose gold jewellery.

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

About the Ferucci 1828 design

The upswept outer corners suit round, oval and square faces especially well, giving the face a gentle lift. Decorative arms give the frame a finished, designer feel when you see it side on.

A patterned front adds personality while still being easy to wear. Metal lets the frame stay slim and light while keeping its shape.

The Ferucci 1828 is a great everyday frame: smart enough for work and relaxed enough for the weekend.

Styling tips

For work, pair it with a crisp shirt or blazer. At the weekend it looks just as good with a T-shirt and jeans.

How it fits

With 48mm 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 112mm.

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 Ferucci 1828

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 36mm lens depth works with single vision, bifocal and many varifocal lenses. If your prescription is high, a high-index lens keeps things thin. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant coating is a sensible extra for everyday wear. Spend a lot of time on screens? This frame is also part of our blue light glasses range.

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.

How your glasses are made

Your Ferucci 1828 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

Use lens spray and a soft cloth, fold the arms before putting your glasses down, and store them in a hard case. Our guide to looking after your lenses covers the rest.
