EM HUTCH Sterling-Opt F.23 – 51-20 – Made in Japan – Custom Gradient Rose to Light Blue Lenses

Frame Details:

  • Brand: EM Hutch (Sterling-Opt)
  • Model: F.23
  • Size: 51-20-145mm
  • Material: Japanese acetate with gold-tone core wire and keyhole bridge
  • Origin: Made in Japan
  • Condition: Pre-owned in excellent condition – no major wear, fading, or hardware issues
  • Design Notes: Refined vintage styling with a softly squared lens shape and sculpted keyhole bridge. Finished in a rich honey-amber tone with high polish and fine detail — elegant, understated, and suited for both fashion-forward and everyday styling.

Historical Relevance:

This frame was produced under the EM Hutch label and distributed by Sterling Optical, a historic American eyewear retailer known for offering boutique-quality imports throughout the 1980s and 1990s.

Made in Japan, the F.23 reflects the high standards of craftsmanship typical of Japanese acetate frames from this era — likely produced in the same facilities as brands like Matsuda or Tura. Boutique in nature, this frame was not mass-produced and is rarely seen today.

Lenses:

  • Type: Brand new, professionally installed
  • Tint: Gradient Rose to Light Blue
  • Material: CR39
  • Effect: A unique vertical fade — from soft rose at the top to a subtle cool blue at the base. Stylish yet wearable, this custom tint offers visual comfort and a distinctive finish.

Size:

  • Lens Width: 51 mm
  • Bridge: 20 mm
  • Temple Length: 145 mm
