In recent years, glasses have evolved from a conventional optical device for improving vision to a fashionable and stylish accessory that complements the image of a modern person. And the chain for glasses helps them to give a special chic, allowing the same glasses to be "served" in different ways.
Features and Benefits
The first chains for glasses appeared in the middle of the XVI century, when pince-nez became fashionable. Due to the lack of arches, the optics often fell and crashed, or got lost, which caused its owner a lot of inconvenience and problems.
Over time, 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 ringlet on the rim, and on the other, they were attached to an ear or to a clothing pocket.
Like many accessories, initially such mounts had an exclusively practical purpose. However, soon they 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. Firstly, it is very practical and allows you to:
- Do not worry about where to put your personal optical device while on the beach;
- Do not worry about the fact that they may fall when walking fast;
- Do not forget them at the store or away.
And secondly - it's beautiful and stylish. With the help of this small product, you can make a vivid addition to both the business and the romantic look, add a “twist” to them and add personality.
Range
Currently, such products are attached to damsels and can be made of a wide variety of materials - from traditional precious metals to nylon, leather and thin synthetic fibers. They are decorated with various precious and semiprecious stones, rhinestones, patterns and even feathers.
In the assortment you can find real brand chains that go along with the designer glasses of world famous companies. They are made from the skin of exotic animals, precious wood and other unusual materials.
Often Swarovski crystals are used for decoration. It looks unusual, for example, an accessory made of a special hypoallergenic metal with a scattering of such crystals or a silver chain with a ring from Swarovski used as a mount for the darling.
Gold accessories always remain in trend, which, thanks to designers, can acquire a wide variety of shapes and weaving.
Items decorated with pearls of various sizes, mother of pearl, opals or hematite look beautiful and unusual.
Recently, do-it-yourself accessories have gained wide popularity. For their manufacture, beads, bugles, beads of various sizes and shapes are used. Macramé wickerwork also looks interesting.
To create your own accessory you will need very little time, improvised material and creative approach. As a result, you can become the owner of an exclusive product that emphasizes individuality and will 100% match the taste of its owner.
Selection rules
Despite the apparent simplicity and insignificance of such an addition, it is necessary to approach its choice 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 a lot (with the risk of dropping them on the go, or leaning over the patient), it makes sense to purchase the most ordinary chains of practical materials without frills. The same accessories can be used by people aged.
For those who want to emphasize their status, while maintaining a business style, a gold chain with simple weaving is suitable. In this case, the use of bright and catchy jewelry and rhinestones is unacceptable.
But the additions of leather with rhinestones, multi-colored fibers or products made in the style of hand made will help to create a romantic image 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.
