Out of SOJOS’s current best sellers, the Coral Bloom “Staghorn Coral” frame (model SJ3103) is one of the ones that keeps showing up first on the site’s own best-sellers page. It’s $49.99, an oval cat-eye shape, and it comes with a gradient lens that leans purple-to-blue. I went through the product spec sheet and the brand’s broader review pattern to see if it earns the spot.
What it’s made of
The frame combines metal and acetate, with high-grade acetate temples built around a core wire for extra hold. That’s a step up from the all-plastic construction found on SOJOS’s cheapest styles.
Lenses are UV400 protected. The frame ships in a silver-frame, grey-lens colorway, with a gold-frame brown-lens version and a clear blue-light-lens version available as preorder options.
Fit and sizing
Frame width sits at 130mm with a temple length of 145mm and an 18mm bridge. Lens width is 56mm and lens height is 34mm, which puts this on the medium-to-slightly-oversized side for an oval cat-eye shape.
If you have a narrower face, that 130mm width is worth double-checking against SOJOS’s sizing guide before you order, since cat-eye frames run visually larger than round or square shapes at the same measurements.
What buyers say about SOJOS at this price and build
This specific listing doesn’t display a public star rating on its own product page. So I looked at the broader pattern across SOJOS’s acetate and metal-combo frames instead, since Staghorn Coral shares construction with several other best sellers.
The recurring praise: sturdy hinges that don’t pinch after a full day of wear, UV protection that reviewers confirm actually works outdoors, and a quality-to-price ratio that measures up to pricier brands. The recurring complaint: occasional inconsistency between individual orders, and a smaller number of reports that polarized versions felt weaker when looking at screens. This particular style uses a standard UV400 lens rather than polarized, so that specific complaint doesn’t apply here.
How it compares
Against SOJOS’s own catalog, Staghorn Coral sits at the standard $49.99 best-seller price point, alongside the Daybreak, Lustre, and Aria styles. The metal-and-acetate build puts it a notch above SOJOS’s plastic-frame entry styles.
Against a brand like Zenni Optical, you’re trading Zenni’s deeper prescription-lens catalog for SOJOS’s stronger trend-driven styling. This particular acetate-and-metal build is the stronger case for SOJOS in that comparison.
Should you buy it
If you want a cat-eye frame with a real metal-core acetate build and UV400 protection for under $50, Staghorn Coral is a solid pick from SOJOS’s current lineup. Just confirm the 130mm frame width works for your face before ordering, since this isn’t a return-eligible situation if you also add a prescription lens.
