Green glass beads run the full 60 cm length of this chain, giving it a clean, unfussy look that reads as jewellery rather than a functional add-on. The beads catch light well, so the colour shifts slightly depending on where you are wearing it. At 60 cm it sits at a comfortable mid-chest length when your glasses are off, and the detachable ends mean it clips on and off without any fuss.
It works as a beaded eyeglass chain or a sunglasses strap, and the length also suits it as a mask holder if you still reach for one. The overall feel is understated rather than statement, so it layers well with other pieces without competing.
Wear It With
Pair this with a linen shirt or a broderie blouse for a summer look that feels put-together without being overdressed. The green glass beads pick up natural tones, so it sits well against earthy or neutral outfits. It also makes a considered gift for anyone who wears glasses daily.
With those boho green glass beads and a detachable fit, our Glass Chains collection is worth a look if you want to compare colourways before settling on one.
