Product Overview: Ray-Ban RB 3557 (Square Legend Gold)

The Ray-Ban RB 3557 9196/31 is a premium edition of the classic geometric metal shape (often referred to as the "Square" or a variation of the "Caravan").¹ This specific pair belongs to the "Legend Gold" Collection, which pays homage to Ray-Ban's rich heritage. It features a Polished "Legend" Gold Frame paired with the iconic Green Classic G-15 Lenses.²

The 51mm size is the "Standard" or "Medium" fit for this model (it is smaller than the 54mm version), making it ideal for most face shapes, particularly those who prefer a tailored, not-too-oversized look.³

Key Features

• The "Legend Gold" Distinction: Unlike standard gold Ray-Bans (which have a white logo), this model features the Ray-Ban logo painted in Gold on the right lens. This subtle detail is a mark of the vintage-inspired "Legend" series, offering a more luxurious and exclusive aesthetic.

• Frame Design: Square / Modified Caravan.

  • Shape: A squared-off aviator style (often called the Caravan shape) with a classic double bridge.⁴ It offers a masculine, 90s-inspired profile that adds definition to soft facial features.⁵

  • Finish: Polished Gold. A high-shine finish that looks distinctively retro.

• Lens Technology: Classic G-15.⁶

  • Color: Green. The original military-grade tint developed in 1937.

  • Function: Absorbs 85% of visible light and blocks most blue light. This ensures "natural vision" where colors are seen as they truly are, providing varying contrast and reducing eye strain in bright light.

• Material:

  • Frame: Lightweight Metal with adjustable nose pads for a custom fit.⁷

  • Lens: Crystal (Glass) for superior optical clarity and scratch resistance.⁸
