Silver and Gold
The Octave perpetuates the excellence of Bailey Nelson’s design language through custom designed components. Each individual piece marries each other seemingly to form a lightweight architectural frame.
Our Titanium frames are made with beta titanium and are designed to be flexible, comfortable and lightweight, ideal for just about anything life throws at them. All our titanium frames are plated in either gold or silver (yep, real gold or silver using a state of the art technique called ion plating). This technique is more expensive and specialized than traditional water plating.
Flexible: titanium is not only extremely flexible - but it returns to its original shape after bending.
Light: Titanium is 45% lighter than steel - giving it the highest strength-to-weight ratio of all known metals.
Strong: Titanium is known for its high strength and structural integrity, allowing it to withstand the test of time.
Each prescription lens is custom cut just for you. We believe that anti-reflective coating and scratch-resistant coating (also known as multicoat) are necessities, not luxuries. These come at no extra cost on our lenses.
All frames come with a complimentary case to keep your glasses safe from dust and scratches on-the-go. They also come with a soft microfibre lens cloth for when they need a deep clean.

Our German engineered barrelled hinges have been tested to more than 100,000 uses! That’s right, after 100,000 tests they were still working in perfect order. We always use the highest hinge-barrel count a frame will allow to add strength and to ensure your frames last their longest life with you.
Our custom wire cores feature a wave pattern giving a nod to our coastal roots. They are designed in Australia, engineered in Germany and crafted in China.
Our design team in Sydney are working across the seasons creating incredible on-trend frames so you’ll always look a million bucks. Our vision is to honour classic styles whilst provoking the future.
