Eyeglass chain - a fashion accessory

In recent years, glasses have evolved from a conventional optical device for enhancing vision into a fashionable and stylish accessory that complements the image of a modern person. And a chain for glasses helps to give them a special chic, which allows the same glasses to be "presented" in different ways.

The first eyeglass chains appeared in the middle of the 16th century, when pince-nez came into fashion. Due to the lack of bows, optics often fell and broke, or got lost, which gave its owner a lot of inconvenience and problems.

Over time, in order to preserve an individual optical device, many began to attach chains and laces to it. On the one hand, they were attached to a small ring on the frame, and on the other, they were attached behind the ear or on the pocket of a garment.

Like many accessories, initially these mounts were purely practical. However, they soon became a fashionable and stylish addition. Moreover, they were worn with equal pleasure by both men and women.

Despite the past centuries, chains are still in demand. First, it is very practical and allows you to:

• not worry about where to put your personal optical device while on the beach;
• do not worry that they may fall when walking fast;
• do not forget them at the store or when visiting.

And secondly, it is beautiful and stylish. With the help of this small product, you can make a bright addition to both a business and a romantic image, add a "zest" to them and give them individuality.

Nowadays, such items are attached to souls and can be made from a wide variety of materials - from traditional precious metals to nylon, leather and fine synthetic fibers. They are decorated with various precious and semi-precious stones, rhinestones, patterns and even feathers.

In the assortment, you can find real brand chains that are combined with designer glasses from world famous companies. They are made from the skin of exotic animals, precious woods and other unusual materials.

Swarovski crystals are often used for decoration. For example, an accessory made of special hypoallergenic metal with a scattering of such crystals or a silver chain with a Swarovski ring used as an attachment to a shower looks unusual.

Gold accessories are always in trend, which, thanks to designers, can take on a variety of shapes and weaves.

Products decorated with pearls of different sizes, mother-of-pearl, opals or hematite look beautiful and unusual.

Recently, handmade accessories have gained wide popularity. For their manufacture, beads, bugles, beads of various sizes and shapes are used. Wickerwork using the macrame technique also looks interesting.

To create your own accessory, you will need very little time, materials at hand and a creative approach. As a result, you can become the owner of an exclusive product that will emphasize individuality and will 100% correspond to the taste of its owner.

Despite the seeming simplicity and insignificance of such an addition, its choice must be approached with no less responsibility than the choice of the glasses themselves. First of all, the choice depends on what it will be used for.

So, for doctors, teachers and representatives of other professions, who often have to take off and put on glasses and move around a lot (with the risk of dropping them on the go, or bending over the patient), it makes sense to purchase the most ordinary chains from practical materials without frills. The same accessories can be used by older people.

For those who wish to emphasize their status while maintaining a business style, a gold chain with a simple weave is suitable. In this case, it is unacceptable to use bright and catchy jewelry and rhinestones.

But additions made of leather with rhinestones, multi-colored fibers or hand-made products will help create a romantic look and are perfect for youth parties and relaxing on the beach.

The main rule of choice is to remember that there are no trifles in creating an image and all its components must be in harmony with each other.
