Tortoise shell had been used since ancient times around the world to craft a broad range of items\u2014from veneers for furniture to intricate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/art\/tortoiseshell-ornament\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pieces of jewelry<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, this is no longer in practice (the use of tortoise shell was banned in the 1970s). But there\u2019s no denying that the pattern of a tortoise shell is an example of nature at its finest\u2014a striking design in neutral tones that\u2019s still well-loved for accessories today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These days, a tortoiseshell pattern can be easily replicated with materials such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/eyeglasses\/acetate\">acetate<\/a> so that we can achieve the look without harming these beloved creatures. (Thank goodness for that!)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does a Tortoiseshell Pattern Look Like on Glasses Frames?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A tortoiseshell pattern will typically have a base color with flakes of color randomly strewn throughout. While tortoise colors often emulate those of traditional tortoise shells with browns, yellows, and ambers, this colorway has evolved over the years to incorporate all sorts of hues. Tortoise colors that incorporate blues and white (and even pinks) are becoming fast favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Tortoiseshell Color in Style?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, always! The tortoiseshell pattern has been favored for ages and is still a top pick today. There\u2019s no seasonality behind tortoise colors, so you can rock them year-round. Plus, with such a wide range of patterns and colors available, anyone can find a tortoise option that suits their style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Most Popular Tortoise Color Glasses Frames<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tortoise shell was a popular material for glasses for more than a century. But today, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/how-our-glasses-are-made\">our glasses are made<\/a> from acetate. You can find all sorts of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/glasses-styles-and-shapes\">different styles of frames<\/a> in a tortoiseshell color.
