Our take
James Oro Black Tint Silver Confidante is a mixed-material frame from James Oro, listed at $125 on www.jamesoro.com in the Black Tint colorway. The Confidante family: a rimless frame with wood temples, gold or silver hardware and Victorian-style facets; 148 mm wide. The store lists it at 148mm across the front; our size guide explains what that means on your face. Lens width is 56mm. It is currently reduced from $250, a 50% cut.
On price it sits among the cheapest pieces in the James Oro range. It suits anyone who wants metal detailing without the weight of a full-acetate front, or an acetate temple for a more secure fit.

Questions about the James Oro Black Tint Silver Confidante
What size is the James Oro Black Tint Silver Confidante?
The store lists a frame width of 148mm. Lens width is 56mm. Compare the frame width with a pair you already own; our size guide explains which widths suit narrow, average and wide faces, and the XL versions of the Titan, Dune, Opus and Authentic II add a few millimetres.
Are the lenses polarized?
Most James Oro frames ship with a standard tinted lens; a polarized lens is offered as a $30 upgrade on some colorways, shown under "Options in stock" above. Clear and blue-light versions are not sunglasses. See our lens guide.
What warranty and returns apply?
James Oro covers manufacturing defects for 365 days from purchase and accepts free US returns or exchanges within 14 days of delivery on unused items in original packaging. Sale items and mystery boxes are final sale, and international orders are final sale except for defects. Details are in our James Oro review.
Can I get prescription lenses in the James Oro Black Tint Silver Confidante?
Not from the store directly: James Oro says prescription lenses are available through a partner site linked from its homepage, and its warranty excludes issues connected to prescription lenses. Any optician can also glaze a full-rim acetate or metal frame; rimless and gem-cut frames are harder to re-lens.
Where can I buy the James Oro Black Tint Silver Confidante?
Directly from www.jamesoro.com, the brand's own store. FrameNotes does not sell frames.
