Did you post on sufu saying the customer service wasn't responding?
Do what I did, buy both sizes of your glasses and return the one you don't like.

Can anyone recommend a good online source for metal or rimless frames with a saddle bridge?
I'm having trouble finding them.

. The color is quite nice too, a dark reddish brown that stands out a bit from the myriad black frames you see people wearing these days.

I believe those are the exact same glasses I ordered last Monday at Glitter Optics at Union Square. I don't get them for another week as they have to send out for my lenses (bad astigmatism). I don't know the model as my receipt just says "Gucci Rx Frame". What model are those? I paid $215.20 for the frames; I think I got some discount for being a VSP member. The total with the lenses came to $635.20 as I have high-index progressives (first time for progressive/bifocal type; getting old) with antireflection and whatever else they can add to bump up the price!

Did you ask anyone to adjust them for you or IF it was adjustable? Plastic frames can be adjusted so that they dont droop down. You dont want a tiny frame that is uncomfortable because you didnt know you could have them adjusted. my 2 cents

I dont know of any, but why do you want a saddle bridge? Is it because you have a high Rx or just because you like them? Not a lot of people look for saddle bridges...

Partly because the bridge of my nose is relatively high, but mostly because I'd like more vintage-inspired frames without having to buy flimsy vintage frames.

Saddles bridges are good, but it will be hard to find frames unless they are real vintages (not vintage remakes). I have not seen many newer frames with saddles bridges unless it is for kids. good luck (no sarcasm), I will keep my eyes peeled for some.

Thanks. A simple nickel or titanium finish would be perfect. I like these, except I'm not crazy about the lens shape. My face is a bit narrow and long, so maybe they would look ok?

Although, at $50, these vintage frames might be worth trying.

another good choice. If you are looking for something lighter an still strong, try Lindberg or Minima. Minima is a smaller French company but very good quality. My 2 cents

I dont know the size of your face and the size of those glasses but from what you explain, in theory you would want a deep lens, either square or round is okay, but you want a deep lens. If you get something too narrow it will make your face look longer. (I dont mean to offend you, Im just trying to help)
