Hardly jewellery quality
And we don't have a forum for spectacle repair so I thought it ought to go here.
The wing of my specs broke, alleged to be titanium.20210207_193605.jpg
Turned a bit of brass rod down and managed to drill a hole.
Bit of superglue and she'll do.

Titanium specs
My brother Darrell made his own glasses out of Titanium...

I was sold a pricey pair of partially-titanium spectacle frames, only to have it break where it was plastic.
Some have made their own spec frames with MIG welding wire.

I bought these from China for about $30, so I'm not very unhappy. Compared to 250+ from optician.
I try to get rimless, no screws.
