How are glasses with core wire temples made?
Exceptional design is achieved when function and aesthetics find equal purpose. The embedded core wire detail does just that. Core wire itself is a crucial part of a frame, and its key intents are to maintain shape, allow for a better fit, support the acetate, and provide an opportunity to adjust the temple detail. Whether it be the general look of a pair completed by an artisan at the factory, or the personalized fit of a frame adjusted, core wire is essential for ensuring the frames keep their form. An embedded corewire is especially one to note, because it achieves a beautiful end result where the design of each filigree is uniquely engraved on both sides of the temples.
The steps to develop an embedded core wire are as purposeful and exquisitely detailed as the feature itself.
To start, the core wire is created with a carefully selected piece of metal where a custom-drawn filigree pattern is tooled in and executed with a stunning three-dimensional surface design that provides noticeable depth. And a milling process is used to precisely cut the exact shape of the core wire into the acetate. Afterwards, a second layer of acetate is applied with heat and pressure.
Then, once two layers are placed, the shape of temples is cut around the intricate core wire, and the edges of temples are beautifully rounded and softened so that the area is barreled.
Lastly, the hinge is attached with genuine pins and the templea are polished. It’s an incredibly thoughtful process for something that truly just makes up a part of the entire frame, yet its purpose is arguably one of the most important features.
