70`s HILTON CLASSIC ROUND

Round frame from Hilton Classic, made in England in the early 70's.

With a simple and classic design that is timeless, it is of course suitable for wearing glasses.

A versatile frame that goes well with colored lenses.

The design is familiar to both men and women, and is characterized by the use of a 14-karat gold frame that is rarely made in modern times.

In October 1973, the Fourth Middle East War caused oil prices to soar, triggering the first oil crisis.

occurred, leading to price hikes. As a result, the price of gold soared.

In order to reduce the cost, the plating technology of thinly applying gold will be developed.

This frame was made before the oil shock and has 14KT RG stamped on the back of the bridge.

This means 14 carat rolled gold, ie 14K gold filled.

Compared to later plating, gold-plating is a luxurious process that uses a lot of gold to keep its shine forever.

The original demo lens from that time is included.

Since it is a lens for display at the store, please replace the lens before use.
