Costume Jewelry & Glasses

How to choose costume jewelry and glasses

The right glasses or jewelry can tell people who you are before they see the rest of the costume. Start with the character or era, then pick one or two pieces that point straight to it.

Glasses that define a character

For Santa, there are round and rectangular Santa glasses. For nerds, professors and schoolkids, choose nerd glasses, professor glasses, school boy glasses or Franklin glasses. Era looks include 50s clear glasses, 80s scratcher glasses, hippie glasses, rock and roll glasses in several colors, John glasses and blues glasses. Kids can choose Harry Potter glasses, Mirabel Madrigal glasses from Encanto and Ecto goggles for ages 6 and up. A pirate eye patch is here too. Pair Santa glasses with Santa suits.

Steampunk and fantasy

Steampunk pieces include aviator goggles, steampunk goggles, monocles, a monocle eye patch with gears, a gear necklace, a steampunk choker, wrist cuffs, a bullet ring, a pocket watch and a bag of gears. Fantasy fans can add a dragon ring or a three headed dragon emblem pin.

Era and culture jewelry

Gangster and hip hop looks use thick gold chains and a zoot suit chain. Pearl necklace and earrings and mod earrings suit vintage looks, and hippie peace jewelry suits the 60s and 70s. For Egyptian, Greek and Roman costumes, there are Egyptian wrist bands, a Cleopatra coiled cuff, gold arm cuffs and a Spartan queen coin bracelet. Party beads come in Oktoberfest, patriotic and fiesta themes. See 1920s flapper and gangster costumes, 70s hippie costumes and Greek, Roman and Egyptian costumes.

Funny and fan pieces

For laughs, choose high brow disguise glasses, droopy eyes, broken glasses or Sun-staches sunglasses in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, SpongeBob, Batman, fire chief and Americana designs. Horror fans can add enamel pins from Trick or Treat Studios, including Michael Myers, Billy the Puppet and Ghost designs. Spooky picks include skull, bat wing and googly eye earrings, a bat ring, a Dracula pendant and a glow in the dark cross necklace. Most pieces are listed without size options, and each product page shows any color choices. Call 800-618-6053 with questions.
