Tiffany 1136 vs. Similar Tiffany Frames
If you're drawn to the Tiffany 1136's butterfly shape, you might also be considering the Tiffany 2203B, another butterfly frame from the same collection. The key difference comes down to material: the TF1136 features lightweight stainless steel with a braided temple detail, while the 2203B uses acetate plastic for a bolder, more substantial look. The metal TF1136 is lighter and more adjustable—an optician can fine-tune the fit precisely—while the acetate 2203B offers more color variety (four options versus three) and comes in two size options (52mm and 54mm lens widths). If you prioritize all-day comfort and a refined, jewelry-like aesthetic, the TF1136 is the better choice. If you prefer a statement frame with more visual weight, consider the 2203B.
The Tiffany 2205 offers a different frame shape at a lower starting price ($187.46 versus $217.48 for the TF1136). While it shares Tiffany's quality construction and iconic packaging, it lacks the butterfly silhouette that makes the TF1136 particularly flattering for heart-shaped and square faces. The butterfly shape's upswept corners create a natural lifting effect that the 2205's design doesn't replicate. If the face-flattering geometry and distinctive braided temple detail matter to you, the TF1136 justifies its slightly higher price.
Why Choose the Tiffany 1136?
The TF1136 stands out for its combination of lightweight metal construction, adjustable fit, and distinctive temple detailing. The braided texture on the arms is a design element you won't find on most butterfly frames, and the adjustable nose pads ensure a secure fit for small to medium faces. Customer reviews consistently mention the quality feel and comfortable all-day wear—factors that matter when you're wearing glasses from morning to night. For those seeking a refined butterfly frame that balances elegance with practicality, the TF1136 delivers.
