So what is a "pince-nez" exactly?   It's a style of eyeglasses that does not have arms or earpieces. Instead, it stays in place by pinching the bridge of the nose. The term comes from French, where "pince" means "pinch" and "nez" means "nose." Pince-nez glasses were popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries and were often associated with intellectuals, aristocrats, and scholars.

This cool brooch would hold these type of glasses or a pencil - how fancy and totally utilitarian is that?  The perfect gift for those who is contantly losing that pencil, eyeglasses, or even a loupe!
