Many people wear glasses, and not only corrective ones. Yes, more and more people suffer from poor eyesight, but some wear them just to create a stylish look or use sunglasses. And the chain for them will provide not only practical, but also aesthetic help.

Story

This accessory appeared in the Middle Ages, when the first glasses were invented. Their name was pince-nez. It was inconvenient to wear such glasses, they did not have darlings, they fell and broke. It was then that the first chain for glasses appeared. One of its ends was attached to a pince-nez, and the other had a clip and was attached to clothes. The pince-nez was kept in a pocket, and if necessary, something was put on to see. The man was not afraid that it would fall and break, the chain kept him in a hanging position.

Kinds

Modern chains have undergone some changes. Now they are attached to the arms, are fashion accessories and help create a variety of images, especially since this little thing has a lot of types.

These are all kinds of laces, ropes, chains made of alloys of simple and precious metals. It is not uncommon to find chains using rhinestones, Swarovski crystals, with semi-precious and precious stones. Recently, chains for sunglasses in the form of beads made of pearls, hematite or agate are very popular.

Items made of beads, leather of exotic animals, precious woods are also widely popular.

Here, a simple chain completely without decorations, made of an alloy of base metals, as well as ropes or laces made using the macrame technique, is perfect.

People who want to emphasize their status and at the same time maintain a business style choose eyeglass chains made of precious metals. A simple weave gold or silver chain will accentuate your business look.

A slightly thicker men's silver chain with coarse weaving will also suit the business style for the stronger sex. Such chains are sometimes called châtelain, after the pocket watch accessory.

This accessory with rhinestones will perfectly complement the youth outfit.It will add lightness and romanticism to the image.

For frames with sun lenses, an attribute in the form of beads made of semi-precious stones is perfect. It even allows the use of large beads.

Whatever the purpose of the chain for glasses, in the first place, it must be in harmony with the whole image as a whole, and with the frame in particular.

If you can't find eyeglass chains in the store that match your look, you can make your own. To do this, you just need to buy the necessary material.

For manufacturing, you can choose a chain, 1 m long. Two connecting rings and locks for attaching to the frame.

We attach the chain to the rings and to the fasteners with the help of pliers. The fashion accessory is ready.

For sunglasses, you can make a string of pearls.

To do this, we string beads on a cable for jewelry. Then, we tie its ends to the connectors for the frame. Now sunglasses will always be with you.

Choosing a chain for glasses, you get not only a useful thing, but also a fashionable accessory that is unlikely to suit all occasions. Therefore, it is better to have at least a couple of them in your arsenal. This attribute will help to make your image more individual, emphasize the rigor of style or add extravagance.
