Rivet & Sway is a new way to shop for designer prescription eyeglasses. Just visit their website, choose your face shape, and you’ll be shown a group of frames which should look great on you. Even better, the frames include detailed dimensions so whether you’re a large woman or small, you can find frames that will be proportionate to your features.
I’m a plus size woman and I’m 5’10” tall; finding glasses that fit my face has always been difficult. Using the Rivet & Sway recommendations, I chose three frames to try on – the three largest frames they have that I liked. By entering my credit card number, name, and address, I ordered the three frames for a home try on. The trial frames are free and so is the postage, the card is just to ensure their return.
The new frames arrived within two days and I was excited and a bit apprehensive to try them on. I honestly didn’t expect to really like any of them so imagine my elation when I actually loved them all!
Here’s me in the frames I chose for a home try-on:

Returning the trial frames is so simple! Just seal up the box they came in with the clever seal built-in and apply the postage which is provided. Then pop it in any USPS mail box and you’re done! Then go online to Rivet & Sway and order your new glasses.
Rivet & Sway doesn’t have a large selection and that’s how they’re able to keep their prices so low. They stock about twenty of the most popular styles of designer prescription eyeglasses. The site is well done, easy to navigate, and logical. I’d planned on ordering a new pair of glasses but unfortunately I have bifocals and they’re not currently offering them. I could purchase the frames at a 10% discount and have lenses put in at my local optometrist. I haven’t decided yet what I’m going to do. Perhaps I’ll have Laura, our new blogger, give ’em a try.
So, which frame would you pick for me if I decide to order? Frames #1 which are much chunkier than I’m used to and pink (although they do come in a tortoiseshell), #2 which are thin and show off my crooked ears, or #3 which would be my choice if I didn’t have you all to help me!
I like the first set on you.
Laura is getting a lot of votes for #1 for sure!
They all look great on you!
Aren’t you sweet! Sadly I figured out they don’t do bi-focals and I can’t see without them. so my blogging partner will be ordering. Lucky girl!
I will be getting some glasses for my daughter real soon so I will have to check out this site.
It’s so easy to pick the frames and try them on at home. I love the concept and can’t wait to see my niece in her new glasses! We’ll be showing her frame choices later this week. Unlike me, she’s not old so no bi-focals 🙂
So psyched you got the chance to try the home try on kit. Super fun! So bummed you can’t order too! Maybe you’ll decide to get the frames and have the prescription filled through optometrist. Btw, you should totally encourage Laura to try them! I love my Rizzo’s and just took advantage of the 50% off in July and got Ruby Red too! Impulsive but well worth it, I think. 🙂 Thanks so much for the post!
Laura’s going shopping! I’m so bummed it won’t be me, but I’ll get to envy her new glasses anyway. New pics and a GIVEAWAY of a pair coming this week!
I think you look so good in all 3!
Thanks! I did love them all but I definitely think my color is the tortoiseshell color.
I actually love #1 on you, and #2 would be my second choice! You look great!
Ah, you’re so sweet! I think they make me look younger than my metal frames do.
I actually like the second ones the best. I just ordered two new pairs of glasses from Sears, but will keep this company in mind for next time.
Thanks Kathleen! I really thought I’d hate them all but I really do like them!
Wow, that’s so cool that you can try them on before buying!
Isn’t that a great idea! I’m so bummed I can’t order – I really liked the frames.
