DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Alexander Nova Eyeglasses bring refined style to everyday wear. This semi-rimless oval frame pairs a lightweight titanium construction with tortoise-patterned acetate temple tips, creating a look that's both professional and approachable. The metal rim traces the top of each lens, leaving the lower half open for an airy, barely-there feel that won't overwhelm your features.

Titanium is the standout here. It's hypoallergenic, so if standard metal frames irritate your skin, this is a smart alternative. It's also remarkably light—you'll barely feel these on your face, even after a full day of wear. The adjustable nose pads let you dial in the fit, and the 49mm lens width (17mm bridge, 135mm temples) suits small to medium faces comfortably.

The oval shape is a versatile choice. It softens angular jawlines and balances rectangular or square faces, while the semi-rimless design keeps things modern and uncluttered. Available in three finishes—Brown, Eggplant, and Sky—the Nova works equally well in the office or on the weekend. These frames are prescription-ready and ship with demo lenses, so you can add your Rx through your optician or our lens service.

The Alexander Collection is built around fit. Many women struggle to find frames that sit right, and Alexander addresses that with a broader size range and thoughtful proportions. The Nova's decorative temple detail—a subtle cutout near the hinge—adds a touch of elegance without feeling overdone. If you want a frame that disappears on your face but still makes a statement, this is it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Alexander Nova eyeglasses prescription-ready?

Yes, the Alexander Nova frames are fully prescription-ready. They ship with demo lenses and can be fitted with single-vision, progressive, or bifocal lenses by a licensed optician. The semi-rimless design accommodates most prescriptions, though very high prescriptions (typically above -6.00) may require consultation to ensure lens stability and thickness.

What makes titanium frames hypoallergenic?

Titanium is naturally hypoallergenic because it's biocompatible and doesn't release sensitizing ions that can irritate skin. Unlike standard stainless steel or nickel-containing metals, titanium rarely provokes allergic reactions, making it ideal for people with sensitive skin or metal allergies. It's also lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and exceptionally durable.

What face shapes work best with oval eyeglasses?

Oval eyeglasses are especially flattering for square, rectangular, and heart-shaped faces because the soft curves balance out angular features and strong jawlines. They also complement diamond-shaped faces by harmonizing with cheekbones. People with round or oblong faces may find other frame shapes more flattering.

How do semi-rimless frames compare to full-rim glasses?

Semi-rimless frames offer a lighter, more minimalist look than full-rim glasses. They provide the stability of a top rim while keeping the bottom edge open, which reduces weight and creates a professional, unobtrusive aesthetic. They're suitable for daily wear and most prescriptions, though full-rim frames may be better for very high prescriptions or heavy-duty use.

What are the measurements of the Alexander Nova frames?

The Alexander Nova measures 49mm lens width, 17mm bridge width, and 135mm temple length (49-17-135). The total frame width is approximately 122mm. These dimensions suit small to medium faces and provide a comfortable, balanced fit for most wearers.

Can I adjust titanium eyeglass frames?

Titanium frames have limited adjustability compared to other metals because titanium is very stiff and doesn't bend easily. However, the Alexander Nova features adjustable nose pads, which allow for height and tilt customization. For temple adjustments, it's best to consult a professional optician who has the proper tools and expertise.

Alexander Nova vs. Similar Alexander Frames

If you're drawn to the Alexander Nova's semi-rimless titanium design, you might also consider the Alexander Liliana and Alexander Melanie eyeglasses. All three are part of the Alexander Collection, which means they share the brand's focus on fit, quality materials, and sophisticated styling for women.

The Alexander Liliana ($90.42) is the closest match to the Nova. Both feature titanium construction and half-rim designs, offering the same hypoallergenic, lightweight benefits. The main difference comes down to frame shape and decorative details—if you prefer the Nova's oval silhouette and temple cutout, stick with it. If you want to explore a slightly different look within the same material and price range, the Liliana is worth a try.

The Alexander Melanie ($81.78) is a more budget-friendly option that still delivers Alexander's signature fit and oval styling. While it may use different materials or construction methods to hit the lower price point, it's a solid choice if you want the brand's aesthetic without the titanium premium.

Our take: The Nova justifies its price with titanium's durability and hypoallergenic properties. If you have sensitive skin or want the lightest possible frame, it's the best pick. If budget is your priority and you don't need titanium, the Melanie offers great value. And if you're deciding between titanium models, compare the Nova and Liliana side-by-side to see which shape and details you prefer.
