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

Vintage metal embellishments
We discovered these gorgeous embellishments in dusty old boxes in a jewelry
manufacturer's warehouse. Most of them are raw (unplated), and age has
given them a lovely aged patina.
