FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE 
       [0001]    The disclosed embodiments relate to decorations or ornaments for eyeglasses. In particular, the disclosed embodiments include, but are not limited to, charm-type decorations which slide onto the earpiece of eyeglasses. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE 
       [0002]    Many people are uncomfortable wearing eyeglasses. In particular, many fashion conscious people, of all ages, may believe that eyeglasses do not offer an opportunity to make a fashion statement, at least not at a reasonable cost. In particular, it may be difficult to convince young people that they can wear eyeglasses while making a personal fashion statement. There also remains a need in the industry for young children to be more accepting to wear glasses. 
       SUMMARY AND OBJECTS OF THE DISCLOSURE 
       [0003]    It is therefore an object of the present disclosure to allow a person, particularly, but not limited to, a young person, to make a fashion statement with eyeglasses. Young children will be more accepting to wearing glasses when they can personalize the glasses with the present invention. 
         [0004]    It is therefore a further object of the present disclosure to achieve the above object at a very reasonable cost.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0013]    Referring now to the drawings in detail, wherein like numerals refer to like elements throughout the several views, one sees that  FIG. 1  is a plan view of a first embodiment of the eyeglass decoration  10  of the present disclosure. The eyeglass decoration  10  includes a heart-shaped charm  12  (or decorative portion) which includes a ring  14  for suspension from an elastic band  16 . The heart-shaped charm  12 , which may be of a silver plated enameled material, is shown in more detail in  FIG. 6  while the elastic band  16  is shown in more detail in  FIG. 5 . Of course, this disclosure envisions the use of any number of designs of the charm  12 . For example, charm  12  may include, but is not limited to: a peace sign (multiple colors), heart (multiple colors), star (multiple colors), princess crown, ice cream cone; sun &amp; moon; musical note; ballet slippers; gymnast; silver floating heart; any combination thereof; and the like. Multiple colors includes any color or color combination. The elastic band  16  is formed in a loop which is held in place by ball  18 . Ball  18  is typically metallic or silver-plated and lead safe and includes a lower ring  20  for attachment to upper ring  22  of charm  12 . As shown in  FIG. 3 , the elastic band  16  is slipped around the earpiece  102  of a pair of eyeglasses  100 , so that the charm  12  is suspended therefrom in a decorative manner. 
         [0014]      FIG. 2  shows a second embodiment wherein a triangular-shaped finding  30  is provided for attachment to the earpiece  102  of a pair of eyeglasses  100 . The charm  12  (shown in  FIG. 2  as a soccer ball, but is not limited thereto, with iconic sports equipment, including balls, expected to be especially popular) is soldered to the finding  30  so that the charm  12  has a substantially flush appearance with the earpiece  102  of a pair of eyeglasses, as shown in  FIG. 4 . As with the first embodiment of  FIG. 1 , the charm  12  may be of a silver-plated enameled material. 
         [0015]    Other alternative embodiments or implementations according to the various teachings of the present disclosure will be understood by those skilled in the art and are achieved without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure. It is therefore intended that the present disclosure is not limited to the disclosed embodiments described herein but should be defined in accordance with the claims that follow.
