Beaded Lanyards Offer Form and Function

If you work in a place that doesn't require you to carry some kind of employee ID badge, you're probably in the minority. Companies are doing what they can to ensure the safety and security of their facilities, and one way they can do this by requiring employees to keep their company-issued ID badges on display at all times.

Beaded lanyards are a great option for displaying your ID badges, especially if you want to save time going through security checkpoints. If you have to pin and unpin your badge or repeatedly take it out of a wallet or purse, it wastes a lot of time. It can also wear down the badge itself.

The great thing about decorative lanyards is that you can find them in so many different colors and styles. Many women are opting to display their identification this way because of they have a feminine appearance and can be selected to match a particular fashion or personality.

Lanyards are a great little accessory, and they are usually very inexpensive. For instance, Boojee Beads offers a selection of designer lanyards priced anywhere from about ten dollars to twenty dollars or more for embellished and more intricate designs. For women who always want to look their best - even at work - these accessories can actually become a part of their overall look. But beaded lanyards aren't just for women. You can also find sports themed lanyards and other choices for men.

Lanyards are designed to be durable enough for everyday wear. The most durable lanyards are crafted using seven strands of stainless steel wire. Look for lanyards that come with a free pocket to hold your employee identification card.

Lanyards come in several varieties and patterns:

- Stained Glass Design Lanyards: These colorful lanyards use metallic-hued glass beads and other colorful geometric shapes for accents. The finished look resembles the art of a stained-glass window.

- Jeweled Lanyards: Different jeweled beads are also used to make jeweled lanyards. Intricately crafted by artisans, the individual beads are made from materials such as glass, gems, and crystals.

- Themed Lanyards: Sports themed beads in the shapes of footballs, soccer balls, basketballs and much more are great for sports enthusiasts. Or if you prefer, you can find colored beads to represent your favorite teams. Other specialty bead designs include pink ribbons for breast cancer awareness, political themed lanyards for democrats and republicans, and school-themed designs.

- Metallic Bead Lanyards: Metallic beads can really add a touch of sparkle or class to your work wardrobe, especially if you are required to dress up more for work. They look dressier than ordinary plastic beads and may be made of metal or coated with a foil metallic finish.
