After all, who of us has not had trouble keeping up with our reading glasses or sunglasses. That is exactly why I started making these designs a few years ago - because I needed an easy way to keep up with my sunglasses while attending my son's baseball games. He's grown now and I not only need my sunglasses, but I also require reading glasses! So I still use these pretty designs for myself as well as for others.
My Chain of Hearts Eyeglass Necklace design has been one of my long time most popular. The original had antique silver chain beaded with antique gold and silver hearts:

Here are my newest versions with more colors of chain and beads:
Antique Gold Chain of Hearts Eyeglass Chain with Loop |
Antique Gold Chain of Hearts Eyeglass Chain - Leash Style |
Red and Black Chain of Hearts Eyeglass Chain with Loop |
Red and Black Chain of Hearts Eyeglass Chain - Leash Style |
Deco Style Chain of Hearts Eyeglass Chain in Black and White - Loop Style |
Deco Style Chain of Hearts Eyeglass Chain in Black and White - Leash Style |
You might notice that I offer my eyeglass necklaces in both my signature loop style as well as leash styles.
In case you are interested in making your own eyeglass necklace, I wrote a tutorial on how I created my first one a while back - you can read about it here!
And here's a link to an article in The Beading Gem's Journal with links to not only my tutorial but several others along with some helpful info on different types and styles of eyeglass chains
Of course all of the designs pictured above and others can be found in the Eyeglass Necklace section of my Etsy shop. Hope you will stop by and visit soon!
And if you have any ideas or suggestions on future styles and designs, let me know - I welcome ideas for new material!
What a great idea! So pretty :)

I bet you look so cute in your eyeglasses with the chains. I can see why they would be popular as it is such a great niche market! And they are cute for the oh so hip baby boomers!

Thanks everyone for stopping by and commenting! As Carol said, my eyeglass chains are a nice niche market that I hope and think has great potential for growth. I am considering opening up another shop on Etsy just for these items. Any thoughts on this?
