This ID lanyard looks like a nice necklace. Very lightweight and a good length. We are supposed to wear our Ids at all times and need them to access our office from the hall. An attractive lanyard makes a difference. Goes well with professional office attire.What would make this 5 stars? A lobster or other clip at the end. As is you need to thread your id through a circle to attach. The clip would make it easier to switch an id from lanyard to lanyard. I also carry my monthly bus pass in my id holder and need to swap in the new one each month.I would recommend this lanyard to any woman who needs to wear an id.This is very nice but I would prefer beads that are all the same size and all smooth (I frequently wear blouses without collars and prefer beads that feel smooth to the touch around my neck). For this reason alone, I wouldn't purchase it again, but I do like it and wear it only with tops that have collars.This is a very pretty lanyard, but it only lasted me two months before all the beads went spilling out all over the floor."Silver," "Pearl," and "Elegant" seem awfully generous descriptors for what, in person, is a flimsy, cheap-looking piece.Hadn't had it for long when, with no provocation whatsoever, this lanyard exploded into an all-bead reenactment of the Big Bang.But consider:1. "Short-lived" is probably the duration of wear to be expected at this price point; and2. I didn't like the clearly faux look of it, so... it kind of did me a favor by taking its own life.It lasted all of 4 weeks conveniently after it was no longer available for return. What an embarassment when it busted all over the carpet at work. UGH!I do not recommend this item.Very pretty, but it broke after a few weeks of wear.So far I like it very much.... The true test will be time... I'll let you know how it holds and may order othersThis lanyard is absolutely beautiful right up until it snaps and beads go flying everywhere. I only had it two months before it broke without provocation. It's pretty but don't expect it to hold up through everyday use.
