For the cost of hiring a jeweler to fix the frames, it's quite
likely he could buy a new set of glasses.


Not sure where the OP is, but I'd hit one of the flea markets that cater
to blacks. All of them have a row a Korean selling gold and most of
them will do jewelry repairs on the cheap. Cheaper than investing in a
torch and high strength solder (or learning to braze).
