Vintage optical lenses
 




In the late 1800s and early 1900s, optometrists used these lenses for vision testing. Artists have discovered them as great ways to frame little vignettes for pendants, charms and other artistic projects.   All measure just under 1-1/2" in diameter. Designs, metals and lens thicknesses vary (We'll try to send a variety). All are antique. Use Ranger's Glossy Accents or JudiKins Diamond Glaze to adhere photos, ephemera and text... and use our ball chain to make pendants! We've seen these priced at $6 to $10 apiece. Ours are three for $12.95.

Three vintage optical lenses: $12.95
