Green Lampwork Glass Eyeglass Chain - Losing My Marbles in Green

Green Lampwork Glass Eyeglass Chain - Losing My Marbles in Green
I absolutely LOVE working with lampwork beads. I love the idea that someone has taken a piece of glass and with flame and craftsmanship, mounded that glass into a piece of art. This is must amazing to me.

The concept of eyeglass chains is that you attach the ends of the chain to your glasses and then wear your glasses around your neck like a necklace. This is an ideal solution for anyone who uses reading glasses, since reading glasses are donned then removed throughout the day and easily become misplaced or lost.

In this "Losing My Marbles" handmade eyeglass chain, I've taken some beautiful green lampwork marbles with tiny flecks of colors inside them and combined them with other matching beads in shades of seaweed green, golden accents and a touch of crisp white to create a stylish beaded eyeglass chain that has easily become one of my favorites.

This piece measures in at 30.5-inches (77.5 cm) from tip to tip.
