Abstract: A necklace assembly for holding a pair of eyeglasses includes an elongated flexible necklace for wearing about the neck of a wearer and an eyeglass-holder assembly connected between first and second ends of the necklace. The eyeglass-holder assembly includes an eyeglass-holder loop having a temple-piece-receiver loop opening for receiving a temple piece of a pair of eyeglasses and a first and a second swivel linker. Each swivel linker has a necklace-side connector and a holder-loop-side connector rotatably joined together for full rotation about a swivel axis. The holder-loop-side connectors of the first and the second swivel linker are connected to the eyeglass-holder loop at locations spaced apart from one another about the loop. The necklace assembly also includes necklace/holder-assembly couplers connecting the respective ends of the necklace with the necklace-side connectors of corresponding swivel linkers of the eyeglass-holder assembly.
