ABSTRACT:
A decorative eyeglass having a pair of temple frames adapted to receive an interchangeable temple insert with a decorative insert attached thereon. A flanged channel disposed in the temple bar of the temple frame is adapted to receive the temple insert through an end opening disposed in the proximal end of the temple frame. The temple insert includes a perimeter ridge rising above a central recessed surface adapted to receive the decorative insert and a flat temple end protecting the edges of the decorative insert from fraying and wear. The perimeter flanges of the temple insert prevent the temple insert from entering or exiting the channel via the side opening. Insertion and removal of the temple insert is accomplished by rotating the temple frame relative to the lens frame so as to expose the end opening. With the desired temple insert fully inserted into the channel, the temple frame may be rotated so as to block the end opening by the lens frame. A coordinated apparel system includes the eyeglass frame with a selected temple insert and decorative insert selected from a plurality of temple inserts each having a decorative insert displaying an ornamental feature wherein the decorative insert is selected such that the ornamental features of the decorative insert are matched and coordinated with the ornamental feature of a item of decorative apparel.
