Coastal Fog Eyeglass Holder
Kelly, our head pieceworker, jumped at the opportunity to do an idea this week with our new Silver Plated Eyeglass Loop Holders. She came up with a gorgeous silver necklace that includes Fluorite Chips, Silver Filigree Beads, and Smoke and Brown Twists. At 25 inches in length, it’s long enough to wear over your head without a clasp. If you would rather make it without an eyeglass holder, simply substitute any clasp for the eyeglass holder.

Bring the end of the Soft Flex through one loop of the Eyeglass Holder and back through the Crimp Bead. Crush the Crimp with Crimping Pliers and trim excess Soft Flex.
