A swivel-linker for use in a necklace assembly for holding a pair of eyeglasses includes a necklace-side connector and a holder-loop side connector. The necklace-side connector is attachable to a necklace. The holder-loop side connector has a connector opening configured to receive an eyeglass-holder loop having an eyeglass opening passing therethrough shaped and dimensioned to receive a temple piece of a pair of eyeglasses. The connector opening is configured to allow the holder-loop-side connector to rotate about the eyeglass-holder loop when the eyeglass-holder loop is received in the connector opening. The holder-loop-side connector includes a pin protruding away from the connector opening. The necklace-side connector has a cavity configured to receive the pin and to rotatably connect the necklace-side connector and the holder-loop-side connector to allow a full rotation between the necklace-side connector and the holder-loop-side connector by a swivel axis. Rotation of the holder-loop-side connector relative to the necklace-side-connector and/or the holder-loop-side connector relative to the eyeglass-holder-loop relieves twisting induced in the necklace in response to the holder-loop-side connector receiving the eyeglass-holder loop, the necklace-side connector being connected to the necklace and the necklace being worn about the neck of a wearer with a pair of eyeglasses in a folded-closed configuration removably pendulously held in the eyeglass-holder loop with a temple piece extending downwardly from one side of the eyeglass-holder loop opening and a lens frame of the eyeglasses extending downwardly from an opposite side of the eyeglass opening.
