The other day I was thinking about what else I could do with some light topaz colored pinched Czech glass beads I used with the pale blue beads (see listing above) and decided to go for a darker contrast color. After a bit of pulling out this and that from my bead supplies, I came up with these olivine colored "deep cut nugget" Czech glass and garnet (stone) beads.

The spacers come from a necklace I bought 4 or 5 years ago and wore maybe twice in the first year and it's been hanging on my necklace tree ever since. I decided to unstring it and make other jewelry from the parts. I'm not sure what metal the spacers are, but after all these years they're still bright and tarnish free. They're also pretty heavy for their size.

This necklace is uniquely fashioned to be worn as a necklace, a lanyard or eyeglass leash because it's finished with two clasps which can be hooked together or onto the various components provided for badges/IDs or eyeglasses. 28" long, so it easily works with proximity or swipe readers. A decorative extension ring provided on request for hooking to a clip on retractor for swipe badges.

Comes with eyeglass holders, badge holder, snap badge loop hooked to a large lobster claw clasp.

Inspiration / Story behind this Product:
Unlike mass produced "jewelry-style" lanyards, this is a real handcrafted piece of jewelry that you can incidentally wear as a lanyard. Dress up your business wear for the most important meetings with this lanyard necklace.

What started as a small hobby to dress up my business outfits with necklace lanyards, that looked much nicer than the shoestring one I got with my work ID, has turned into a wonderful adventure in creativity!

Each one will be a unique, Dawno Original creation, but the emphasis is on affordability and simple elegant design that will complement any style of work-day ensemble. Great for wearing to that very important meeting or presentation.
