On social networks, particularly TikTok and Instagram, eyeglass chains are now showing up in thousands of publications, paired with as many trends, which is the key factor showing their versatility. On the Chinese social network, the hashtag #eyeglasschain has already racked up several hundred thousands of views, and this is without counting, as always, on the many variations of the term. And the videos using the hashtag show us a nearly infinite number of ways to wear the accessory, as well as its many variations, for all genders. Because the eyeglass chain of today is indeed gender neutral.
For an idea of how the celebrities are wearing it, check out French model and TV personality Iris Mittenaere who chose a beaded model earlier this year for her holidays in Abu Dhabi, and Kim Kardashian who, more recently, made the eyeglass chain into a true punk accessory. The reality TV star opted for a (fake) nose piercing connected to many chains, including one connected to her sunglasses. That should reignite some interest in an accessory once considered tacky.
One more piece of jewellery
Like other jewellery pieces, the eyeglass chain is now available in various styles and formats The unsightly black cord that accompanied grandma’s reading glasses is long gone. The styles of the moment are composed of small or large links, pearls, and many are even decorated with precious stones or fancy pompoms.
Available in gold, silver or brass, like any other jewel they can be decorated with various shapes. In terms of length, you can find everything from shorter to extra-long versions. And the good news is that you can find them at a wide range of prices, whether at Le Petit Cordon, Atelier Kat H, or Rua Martine, specialists in the field, but also at jewellery and ready-to-wear stores, and even luxury brands, including Dior, Chanel, Fendi, and Saint Laurent.
There’s no longer any reason to resist the call of an eyeglass chain and its double advantage: being at the cutting edge of style, while always having your specs nearby. Functional and aesthetic, right on trend.
