Key Features
and/or Benefits
The solution is a nose piece that also acts as a clamp holding the rims in place. The lateral strength of the titanium is the key to this solution. Most frames require the removal of two or more screws in each rim to fit or replace lenses. This design requires the removal of one screw only.
I have identified a market that now looks for home-grown, quality and inspired ideas encompassing good design. Individuals with the desire to be stylish are willing to seek out and invest more in order to communicate their ideals, their beliefs, their passions. Looking into the eyes of someone is very personal and so the frames that add to the experience need to be too. These ones are just that - real and personal by being a reflection of the individual as they choose to frame themselves.
My offering is rare, handmade and comes with a personal guarantee of quality. My eyewear is like a work of art, there is no other one exactly like it, the design and methodology is a result of one person’s journey demonstrating beauty in structure as a result of form following functionality. The attention to detail and finishing is superior. I am one of very few craftsmen that can deliver this offering in Australia.
PCD Elements frames are created using raw materials. There are no coatings and they can all be refined and re-used. More importantly, and delivering on the investment, the eyewear is designed and made to last more than a lifetime. The titanium can be re-finished and re-coloured, the rims can be re-polished and if need be the stainless steel screws can be replaced. Lenses can be replaced and fitted in a process that has been simplified by the design mechanics.
