Ray-Ban Bernard RB2230, a preppy round frame with iconic rivet detailing
The Ray-Ban Bernard RB2230 is a minimal, ultra wearable round style built in lightweight acetate. It keeps the low profile that made this shape a Ray-Ban archive favorite, finished with the metal rivets that have become one of the house's signature details. If you have been searching for the Bernard, the RB2230, or a Phantos shaped Ray-Ban, this is that frame.
Construction and materials
- Frame shape: Phantos (a rounded, slightly squared silhouette)
- Frame material: acetate for a light, durable everyday build
- Lens treatment: gradient
- Bridge and nosepads: built for a high bridge fit
- Hinge to hinge width: 127mm, with a 145mm temple length
The acetate build keeps the frame light on the face while the metal rivets at the hinges add the structure and detail this style is known for.
Who it is for
The Bernard suits anyone who wants a classic, low key round frame for daily wear, whether that is running errands around South Florida, riding in the boat, or sitting beachside. The high bridge fit is worth noting when you are deciding on your size in the variant selector above, since it is designed for a specific nose bridge profile rather than a universal fit.
Wear and care
Acetate frames like the Bernard hold their shape best when they are stored in a case rather than tossed in a bag, since loose keys and sunscreen bottles can scratch the gradient lenses. Rinse the frame with fresh water after a day at the beach or on the boat to clear off salt and sunscreen residue, then dry with a soft cloth before the next wear. Avoid leaving acetate sunglasses on a hot dashboard, since sustained heat can soften and warp the material over time.
