If you’re a craft enthusiast who loves noticing subtle variations in texture and finish, then the process of oxidizing 925 sterling silver is arguably the most romantic part of the eyeglass-wearing experience. EYEVAN, a renowned Japanese handcrafted eyewear brand, introduces its new line—IVRIOT—using 925 sterling silver as the material for its metal frames. From the main frame body to the nose pads, all metal components are made from 925 sterling silver.
This design not only delivers a grounded, refined feel on the face, but also creates a distinctive luster that evolves with the wearer’s body temperature and the oxidation process over time. If today you’re aiming for a rugged, timeworn “antique silver” look, simply allow it to oxidize naturally. And when you want to return to a crisp, eye-catching modern finish, just wipe it gently with a silver polishing cloth to restore its like-new brilliance. This freedom to switch styles at will is a pleasure that titanium and conventional electroplated frames can’t offer.
In addition to its metal pieces, IVRIOT also offers acetate styles: crafted from 10mm-thick material, featuring boldly personalized cut-line detailing. Combined with a frame surface that looks as glossy and smooth as glazed ceramic, these pieces exude a composed, confident presence.
Another standout feature of IVRIOT is that—throughout the entire collection—the ends of the temples conceal details that are sure to catch your eye. Skilled Artisans draw inspiration from “raden” —a traditional decorative craft—embedding the iridescent material from the inner layer of seashells into the middle of sterling-silver embellishments. This creates a dazzling, light-catching visual effect, reflecting a premium level of refinement shaped by both craftsmanship and a deep aesthetic sensibility.
