The Ray-Ban Erika Metal RB3539 sunglasses bring a refined metal construction to one of Ray-Ban's most popular modern designs. This unisex frame features a phantos shape—a softly rounded, slightly geometric silhouette that sits between a circle and a square—paired with an unmistakable keyhole bridge and ultra-thin metal temples in sleek metallic finishes.
Lightweight Metal Construction
Built with a polished stainless steel metal frame, the RB3539 delivers durability without the weight. The 54mm oval lenses provide excellent coverage, while adjustable silicone nose pads ensure a customized, slip-free fit for all-day wear. The 145mm temples are slim and flexible, designed to sit comfortably behind the ears without pressure points. Reviewers consistently note the frame's light feel—one customer described them as "very light weight and are polarized," while another praised how "they are not heavy when wearing."
The phantos shape flatters a wide range of face shapes, particularly square, oval, and heart-shaped faces. The rounded upper rim softens angular features, while the balanced proportions add definition without overwhelming smaller faces.
Lens Options & UV Protection
Available in gradient, polarized, and photochromic Evolve lens options, the Erika Metal adapts to your lifestyle. Gradient lenses offer a smooth transition from darker at the top to lighter at the bottom—ideal for driving and everyday wear. Polarized versions cut glare for water and high-glare environments. All lenses provide 100% UVA and UVB protection to shield your eyes from harmful rays.
Prescription-Ready Design
The RB3539 is fully prescription-ready. Ray-Ban's prescription lab can fit custom lenses with the signature RB logo etched on the left lens and Ray-Ban branding on the right, maintaining the authentic look while delivering the vision correction you need.
The single-bridge design with its keyhole cutout is a signature detail that adds vintage character to the modern silhouette. It's a frame that works equally well on city streets or sunny beach days, pairing easily with casual and polished looks alike.

Ray-Ban Erika Metal 3539 Sunglasses
Do not do business here. Go anywhere else. They received their WRONG product back to them and will not send me my correct product or refund me. They are responsive and barely speak clear English and obviously have no proper business model.
Love my RayBan Erica frames and the purchase was effortless!
I had the Erika’s in gold and loved them. I dropped them on pavement and really scratched the lenses. I ordered these as a replacement and they are perfect. I love the look.
Great sunglasses - exactly what I wanted. The price was fantastic!!!

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Ray-Ban Erika Metal RB3539 sunglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the RB3539 is fully prescription-ready. Ray-Ban's prescription lab can fit custom lenses directly into the frame, including the signature RB logo etching on the left lens and Ray-Ban branding on the right. You can order prescription lenses in clear, sun, polarized, or photochromic options while maintaining the authentic Ray-Ban look.
What is the difference between Ray-Ban Erika Metal 3539 and Erika 4171?
The RB3539 Erika Metal features a full metal stainless steel frame with adjustable nose pads, while the RB4171 Erika has a nylon/plastic frame with a fixed bridge. The metal version is lighter, more adjustable for fit, and offers a more refined, polished aesthetic. Both share the same phantos shape and 54mm lens size, but the metal construction provides better customization and a premium feel.
What face shapes suit the Ray-Ban Erika Metal RB3539?
The phantos shape of the RB3539 flatters square, oval, heart-shaped, and diamond face shapes particularly well. The rounded upper rim and balanced proportions soften angular features and add definition to longer faces. The adjustable nose pads allow for a customized fit across different face widths. People with very round faces may prefer more angular frames for contrast.
Are the nose pads on the RB3539 adjustable?
Yes, the RB3539 features adjustable silicone nose pads that can be customized for comfort and fit. The cross-shaped plug-in/push-in mount type allows the pads to be positioned for optimal weight distribution and a slip-free fit. This is a key advantage over the plastic Erika 4171, which has a fixed bridge.
What are the measurements of the Ray-Ban Erika Metal 3539?
The RB3539 has a 54mm lens width, 19mm bridge width, and 145mm temple length, with a medium fit suitable for most adults. The oval-shaped lenses have a base curve of 6, providing a slight wrap for coverage without excessive curvature. The full-rim metal frame weighs approximately 26 grams, making it one of the lighter metal sunglasses in the Ray-Ban collection.
Do Ray-Ban Erika Metal sunglasses come with polarized lenses?
Polarized lenses are available as an option on select RB3539 variants, including models with gradient brown polarized and light grey gradient grey polarized lenses. Polarized lenses reduce glare from reflective surfaces like water, snow, and pavement, making them ideal for driving and outdoor activities. All lens options provide 100% UVA and UVB protection.

Read the full comparison
Ray-Ban Erika Metal 3539 vs. Erika 4171: Metal or Plastic?
The most common comparison customers make is between the Erika Metal RB3539 and the original plastic Erika RB4171. Both share the same phantos shape and 54mm lens size, but the construction differs significantly.
The RB3539 features a full stainless steel metal frame with adjustable silicone nose pads, while the RB4171 uses a nylon/plastic frame with a fixed bridge. The metal version weighs less (approximately 26g) and offers superior fit customization through the adjustable pads. Reviewers consistently note the metal frame feels more refined and premium, though some prefer the substantial feel of the plastic version.
For prescription wearers, the RB3539's adjustable nose pads are a significant advantage, allowing the frame to be positioned for optimal optical alignment. The metal temples are also thinner and more flexible than the plastic version's rubber-coated arms.
Price-wise, the Erika Metal typically runs $10-20 more than the plastic Erika, but both are available in similar lens options including gradient, polarized, and photochromic.
Erika Metal 3539 vs. Round Metal 3447: Phantos or Round?
If you're choosing between metal Ray-Ban styles, the Round Metal RB3447 is another popular option. Both frames use similar metal construction and adjustable nose pads, but the lens shapes differ.
The RB3539's phantos shape—rounded with subtle angles—flatters more face shapes than the pure circular lenses of the RB3447. The keyhole bridge on the Erika Metal adds vintage character, while the Round Metal uses a traditional double bridge design.
The Erika Metal's 54mm lens provides more coverage than the Round Metal's typical 47mm or 50mm options, making it better for sun protection and a bolder look. However, the Round Metal's iconic heritage and retro appeal make it the choice for those seeking a more distinctive, vintage-inspired aesthetic.
Both are excellent prescription-ready frames with similar weight and comfort. Your choice comes down to whether you prefer the modern versatility of the phantos shape or the classic cool of the round lens.
