Abstract: An item of jewelry (10) is described which may be used as a necklace or an eyeglass strap for maintaining eyeglasses about the neck of the wearer. A necklace section (12) is adapted to form a necklace by connecting the rings (20, 22) at its ends together. The ends (14, 16) may be used in combination with the necklace section (12) to form a strap for eyeglasses. The ends include rings (46) for engagement with the rings (20, 22) on the necklace section (12). The ends further include either a resilient strap (34) or an O-ring (54) which may be positioned over the earpiece of the eyeglasses. Ends (60) can be provided which include resilient strap material (62) forming a loop (80) which is adjustable.
