Etsy artisan ArtAKimbo has managed to make a unique stand to hold your glasses while not wearing them.

ArtAKimbo's Nose Eyeglass Holders are the perfect way to store your lenses while not wearing them. With a perfectly balanced bridged nose, the stands come in various colors, complete with a handlebar mustache. The noses ranging in skin tone, from nudes to tans, and are perfect for holding the frames. The handlebars can also hold keys and various other items.

ArtAKimbo also created a unique elephant tusk, available in traditional tusk gray and bubblegum pink. ArtAKimbo's pieces are molded in sturdy urethane resin and attached to a brass rod supported by a urethane beehive-styled base. A hook at the back holds the spectacles in place.
