Ascot spectacle chain - Large pearl & filigree matt silver beads on silver links.

Our spectacle/sunglass chains (also known as glasses chains and as glasses holders) are made in England by skilled and experienced staff.

Every one of our chains can be easily changed into a necklace, by opening the bolt rings by the end loops, removing the loops, and then attaching the bolt rings to each other. The chains are delivered with a drawstring jewellery pouch, to help protect the chain.

Our designer has worked with costume jewellery for over 25 years, and our wide range has developed to suit all tastes, from the flamboyant through to the understated.

The quality of our chains is very high. In the unlikely event of the chain breaking, we fully guarantee all of our range against manufacturing defect. The chains will not tarnish, nor will they discolour, provided you look after them as you would any type of plated metal: by wiping the chain after prolonged use with a dry cloth, and by not exposing the chain to prolonged heat or saline humidity.


The spectacle chains are all 24 inches/62 centimeters in length.

The chain components originate principally from England, with some coming from France, the Czech Republic and Austria. All components are sourced from reputable and well-established manufacturers.

These components can be divided into four categories:

Metal chain. This is nickel-free. The gold chain is 18 carat gold-plated; all plating is conducted by electrolysis, which achieves long-lasting results.

Cut crystals. Swarovski, an internationally renowned company, supply most of these. Their faceting is precisely machined, with an unique lustre second to none.

Glass beads. Made of Bohemian glass, their enduring shiny or matt finish is achieved through a lengthy barrelling process using wood chips.

Our quality control is meticulous. Put this all together and what do you get? – an unique range of very pretty (and reasonably priced) chains.

We guarantee all of our chains against manufacturing defects, and undertake to refund the purchaser in full for any defective goods which are returned to us.

Easily convertible into a lovely necklace. FREE soft jewellery pouch with your purchase.
