Eyeglass Chains
Eyeglass chains are decorative and functional cords or straps designed to hold eyeglasses or reading glasses securely around the neck or on the shoulders, preventing loss or damage.
Material
Eyeglass chains are constructed from a diverse range of materials, each offering unique aesthetic and practical characteristics:
- Metal: Stainless steel, gold, silver, and alloy metals are common choices, providing durability and a sophisticated appearance. Metal chains often feature adjustable clasps and rubber or silicone grips for secure attachment to the eyeglass temples.
- Beads: Glass, acrylic, wood, and gemstone beads are frequently incorporated for decorative purposes. Bead chains vary significantly in color, size, and pattern.
- Fabric/Cord: Nylon, cotton, leather, and silk cords offer a lighter and more comfortable feel. Fabric chains may be braided, knotted, or woven for added texture and style.
