The Rigards RG0074 was inspired by the hypnotic sight of a majestic Manta Ray gliding silently through the waves and light. Forming the defining feature of the frames are the dynamic lines and indelible bridge detail--an embodiment of the graceful curvature and head fins (“devils’ horns”) of the phantasmic creature. The distinctive bridge design also resembles a half-closed but ever-watchful extra eye, an inspired nod to mythical Eastern Gods like Erlang Shen and Fudo Myo-o, known for their truth-seeing third eye in the middle of the forehead. The choice of handpicked solid horn, with a translucent milkiness evocative of rare striated jade, sublimates the frame with a material ambiguity. The refreshing sculptural style is wholly organic and devoid of the sterile machine-finished look characteristic of typical horn frames in the market. Every line in the design is considered, every daring shaved plane has a reason. The hand-polishing is restrained rather than overdone, hitting just the right notes. Nothing is arbitrary. Flexible beta-titanium temples offer ease of adjustment and a snug fit. Please Note: This product is made of natural horn, the color of which will have normally occurring variances.
