The sliding ear pieces are probably spring steel. The rest is probably just steel or a lighter equivalent. What material are premade eyeglass hinges made from. I would go from there, because you probably aren't going to fab your own hinge at that scale.

Thinking for the assembly, use of copper tape and soldering. The tinting is just one psrt of this build. Old premade hinges salvaged from thriftshop junk aint bad advice.

The frame looks a bit shiny. If a jeweller made it it could be a silver or platinum alloy.
