BADGE HOLDER LANYARDS are strung on 49-strand, kink-resistant jewelry cable and are available in a "pullover" style or with a clasp at the back of the neck. Clasp design may be a "break-away" magnetic clasp, lobster claw, spring ring, barrel or toggle. Most identification necklaces are designed with smaller beads at the back of the neck to minimize pinching and to give a more comfortable fit next to your skin. A 15, 20mm or 25mm split ring with badge clip, or a swivel hook, accomodates most security badge card holders or security keys.

EYEGLASS NECKLACES feature adjustable vinyl or elastic cloth grips which adjust easily for most types of eyeglasses, sunglasses or reading glasses. Some eyeglass necklaces have been designed with a shorter length and a single large ring for "hanging" reading or regular eyeglasses for a quick "grab and read". Most of my identification card lanyards can be converted into a necklace simply by detaching the badge clip and adding a pendant or charm to the large split ring. To convert the badge holder into a double-strand choker necklace simply use the badge clip for a clasp at the back of the necklace.

CELL PHONE STRAPS are available for purchase on page 2 of the "Everyday" badge holders section. The strap attaches through the small hole located on your cell phone (although you may have to look hard for the opening!). After attaching the strap to your cell phone it will easily attach to the large split ring on your badge holder necklace...complete instructions for attaching the cell phone strap will be included with each purchase.

High Quality...Durable Jewelry! Each handcrafted badge holder, eyeglass and cell phone necklace has been designed to give the "appearance" of a delicate piece of jewelry yet all are constructed to withstand the rigors of daily use. These beaded creations make an attractive accessory for displaying your identification badge card or security key, for easy accessibility to your reading glasses...quilting/embroidery scissors...or cell phone.

HEIRLOOM QUALITY LINKED AND HAND-BEADED ROSARIES are designed with high quality glass, semiprecious, Swarovski, porcelain, cloisonné, wood, pewter, sterling silver and/or ceramic or porcelain beads. The religious centers (connectors) and crucifixes are pewter or sterling silver. Rosaries are either sterling silver wire-linked or hand-strung with strong, kink-resistant jewelry wire (49-strand, stainless steel cable with a protective nylon coating).

CRYSTAL BOBECHES add elegance and romantic ambiance to any setting. These drip guards (or "nappies" as they were named in earlier days) protect candleholders and tables from candle wax drips. All bobeches feature my own original designs and are hand-beaded and created by me personally. The crystal facets and aurora borealis finish create a myriad of rainbow colors as they are illuminated in the glow of a flickering candle flame.
