Brick Red Eyeglass Chain made from Upcycled Vintage Necklace

Brick Red Eyeglass Chain made from Upcycled Vintage Necklace
Once a beloved vintage beaded necklace made from red beads marbled with a hint of gold, when the necklace broke and it was handed down to me I knew just what to do with it.

The piece that was once a necklace has now been turned into a beaded eyeglass holder that's perfect for the queen bee of any family and sure to make an impression.

My mom's always losing her glasses, how about yours? This eyeglass holder is made of beads anchored on string with gold plated rings near the temples stamped with the word "mom" on either side.

I think that we all forget sometimes that mothers everywhere need a little love now and then too. I love to imagine this unique OOAK (One of a Kind) piece being given to a loving mother as a gift and I think this piece makes for a perfect way to show her just how much she means.

This handmade eyeglass chain measures 33.25" from tip to tip (84.5 cm).
