Named after one of the most elegant women I've ever known, this beaded badge lanyard is created using shimmering red faceted beads combined with a touch more red and a bit of black for accents.
Creamy white seed beads make up the strand of this beaded lanyard, and a touch of golden accents bring it together with a hint warmth and added elegance.
This lanyard is perfect for holding an ID badge, key or many other light-weight options. So many people these days are in need of lanyards for work, school, volunteer work and more. Why not have a lanyard that is more than functional but fashionable as well?
The nape of this 36.5-inch (92.7 cm) strand is created to lie comfortably against the back of the neck with decorative beads further down along the strand so they are shown off to their best advantage.
Rainy days and teardrops is what came to mind when I first saw the faceted teal pendant used in this unique OOAK (one of a kind) handmade choker necklace.
I love the rain. I love how it feels like it scrubs the world clean. In this necklace, that love is brought to life with iridescent turquoise rounds and dark brown marbled beads that compliment each other in this beaded necklace finished with a matching faceted Lucite pendant that seems to glow in the light.
The lobster claw clasp at the nape hooks to a chain that allows this "Rainy Days and Teardrops" necklace to adjust between 15" - 17" in length (38 cm - 43 cm) and be worn tight enough to be a choker or loose enough to lie against the chest while a small bead bauble at the end of the chain gives an extra bit of a decorative touch.
Mother of pearl makes a beautiful accent, and in many cases focal point, for a variety of different styles of jewelry. In this handmade bracelet, entitled Poseidon's Daughter, I've strung a total of 72 mother of pearl rice beads on three separate strands that have then been intertwined together to encircle the wrist in shimmering white.
The piece is then finished off with bursts of vibrant color when I used clusters of coral chips and round aventurine beads to complete this unique gemstone bracelet.
The end result is a unique OOAK (one of a kind) shimmering concoction that's easily able to be imagined having been plucked directly from the treasure chest of the most beautiful mermaid in all creation, Poseidon's daughter.
This handmade bracelet measures at 7.75" length (20 cm) including clasp.
I love earthy styles and enjoy working with glass beads and stones more than any other materials. That said, though, for some purposes, glass beads and stone are a little too heavy. If you use too many of them in an eyeglasses chain, for example, you'd end up having your glasses constantly tugged down by the weight of the lanyard.
That's one of the situations where materials such as acrylic beads come in handy.
In this earthen brown eyeglasses chain, acrylic beads are light-weight but with the look of tumbled stones to create an earthy style that's brought together on a fully beaded strand of white with gold and pearl accents.
This beaded eyeglasses chain measures at 29.75" (75.5 cm) from tip to tip and is made with smooth beads at the nape for the comfort of the wearer and decorative beads at the ends to show off a sense of style while keeping your eyeglasses easily in reach.
Ice-like stippled beads shimmer on this beaded badge lanyard of black and white with just a hint of gold for warmth.
So many people now need to wear lanyards. It isn't just latch key kids and nurses who wear them anymore but teachers, students, interns, office workers, security staff, lab workers and many more.
This beaded badge lanyard is completed with a 1cm split-ring to securely hold a badge, keys and many other light-weight options while the nape of the strand is created to be comfortable against the back of the neck with decorative beads further down along the strand so they are shown off to their best advantage.
Although this 36" (91.5 cm) lanyard is made with a sturdy no-clasp design for added security, it can also be adjusted to include an easy magnetic break-away clasp if needed.
