The Tiffany 2251 Eyeglasses bring vintage-inspired cat eye style to your prescription eyewear with a signature detail that sets them apart: a polished metal heart accent on each temple. These women's prescription frames combine full-rim acetate construction with the refined elegance Tiffany & Co. has delivered since 1837.
The cat eye shape features gently upswept outer corners that draw attention to the eyes and cheekbones. This silhouette is particularly flattering for round, oval, and heart-shaped faces, where the angular lines add definition and balance. The full-rim acetate frame is available in five sophisticated finishes—classic Black (8001, 8406), rich Tortoise (8015, 8064), and warm Havana (8363)—each showcasing the depth and luster you expect from Italian-made eyewear.
What makes the 2251 distinctive is the heart emblem on the temple, a nod to Tiffany's jewelry heritage. The metal heart sits at the hinge, finished in silver or gold tone depending on the frame color. It's subtle enough for everyday wear but unmistakably Tiffany. The frames are made in Italy and feature the engraved Tiffany & Co. logo on the inner temple.
These frames are fully prescription-ready and ship with demo lenses. Choose between two lens widths: 51mm for petite to medium faces or 53mm for medium to wider faces. Both sizes feature a 16mm bridge and 140mm temples with a single-bridge design. The acetate construction is lightweight and durable, built to hold up through daily wear while maintaining comfort.
Tiffany eyewear has been produced under license by Luxottica since 2008, combining the jeweler's design vision with optical expertise. Each pair ships in the iconic Tiffany Blue box with a matching case and cleaning cloth.

Tiffany 2251 vs. Similar Cat Eye Frames
When choosing luxury cat eye eyeglasses from Tiffany & Co., the 2251 stands out for its classic heart detail and full acetate construction. Here's how it compares to other popular Tiffany frames in our collection.
Tiffany 2251 vs. Tiffany 2097
Both frames celebrate Tiffany's jewelry heritage with the signature heart emblem on the temples, but they represent different interpretations of feminine eyewear. The 2251 features a true cat eye shape with upswept outer corners, while the 2097 offers a square silhouette with softer edges. The 2097 comes at a lower price point ($152-$187 vs. $230-$250) and may be more versatile for different face shapes, particularly those who prefer less dramatic angles. However, if you're drawn to vintage-inspired glamour and the classic cat eye look, the 2251 delivers that aesthetic more authentically. Both frames feature full-rim acetate construction and are made in Italy with the same attention to detail.
Tiffany 2251 vs. Tiffany 2266
The 2266 offers a contemporary take on the cat eye shape with HardWare-inspired gauge link detailing on metal temples. While both frames share the cat eye silhouette, the 2266 combines acetate fronts with metal temples for a mixed-material look that feels more modern. The 2251's full acetate construction and heart detail lean into classic elegance, making it ideal for those who want a more traditional luxury aesthetic. The 2266's metal temples may appeal to those seeking a lighter feel or a connection to Tiffany's HardWare jewelry line. Both are similarly priced and offer the same Italian craftsmanship and prescription-ready versatility.
The Tiffany 2251 is the best choice if you want the most recognizable cat eye shape with Tiffany's iconic heart detail in a full acetate frame that balances vintage inspiration with everyday wearability.
