Abstract

A pair of decorative sunglasses has temples of chain or cord, each sized to extend, when worn, over and behind the ears and down to the ear lobe and to connect to a pendant suspended therefrom. As a modification, the sunglass frames and pendants are formed of transparent material with separable mating halves which snap apart and together to permit changing a decorative sheet which fits between the halves.
