Abstract: Decorative elements magnetically attachable to, removable from and/or interchangeable with eyewear frames comprise decorative element mounting means having a recess for receiving a magnet and cooperating with a recess on the eyewear frame which receives the mounting means. The two recesses are generally opposed in direction such that the recess on the mounting means and the magnet therein are both received internally by the recess on the eyewear frame with the magnet being sufficiently close to the internal metal or wire reinforcement of the frame to be attracted thereto.

Abstract: A rimless frame system and method is provided to address among other things durability and quality control issues of conventional rimless eyewear designs involved with connection of temples and bridges with lenses of the rimless eyewear. The rimless frame system includes tapered caps that are threaded onto pins located on the temples and on the bridge. As the tapered caps are tightened onto the pins they radially expand sleeves that in turn apply radial forces to inner surfaces of holes properly positioned in the eyewear lenses. These radial forces between the sleeves and the inner surfaces of the lenses holes affix the temples and the bridge to the lenses of the rimless eyewear.
