This lanyard is made with 2 BIG Vintage Beads that I took from an old necklace, the rest were unusable but these are pretty nice and are BIG and surprisingly light for their size. I don't know what they are made of, a friend says they are glass with a ceramic coating from the old days, I think because of their weight that they are lucite. Eitherway, they are big at 1 1/2" long! I also used large black floral lampworks, large black and topaz crystals, Black Onyx and golden glass pearls.
I didn't want to add weight with a pendant so I just dangled a couple of crystals from your floral bail and have only an ugly lanyard clip available at this time. IF some nicer clips arrive before this sells, I will switch it to a nicer golden clip.
I did make a coordinating bracelet sold separate in my eBay store.
Throughout this strand I used larger than typical ornate Bali gold spacer beads, fancy bead caps, a large floral bail and twisted rope style toggle clasp. There is nothing cheap about this piece & you can wear it proudly with assurance that it will not fall apart!
PLEASE know these 2 vintage beads are used BIG! I don't want you to be shocked at the size. They measure 38 x 28 x 15mm thick or about 2 quarters side by side long X 9 quarters stacked ontop of each other thick. Or 1 1/2" x 1 1/8" x 1/2" thick. THEY ARE BIG and very cool and the only ones I have ever seen in my beading lifetime!!! Perfect for your Fall & Winter wardrobes & how about Halloween and Thanksgiving golds, browns, yellows and oranges!
Shipping is a little extra because this will cost more to ship.
Estimate sizes are shown inside of the photos: 25mm = 1"
My lanyards are crimped 4 times for added security and the unsightly crimps are covered. A crimp cover is a split bead that I fold down around the crimp and pinch it together, leaving a barely noticeable but unavoidable seam. This is not a broken or cheap bead. They are either gold plated or silver plated, depending on the metal used in your piece.

If there is a coin in the photos it is so you can compare sizes and is not included with this piece.
Also, I have put approximate sizes in the photos as well. Remember, one inch = 25mm
~~~
My lanyards are strung on heavy duty, thick yet flexible 29 strand cable wire that is coated so it will not rust, break or snag your clothing! It won't break but if it does, but it won't, you are covered with KATHY'S EXTENDED KINDNESS WARRANTY! Don't fret, my items don't break.
I apologize but I have decided to stop repairing other beaders items. Please go back to where you bought your item to see if the seller will fix it for you. It is taking up too much of my time and does not cover my costs. Thanks for understanding.

You don't have to read all the boring legal words below. There are no hidden meanings in my listings, no words to seek out and find to read between the lines. The disclaimers below is simply to cover myself for just in case; like the one that thought she would get one key chain for each photo.
A word about Bali, Tibetan, German silver and/or gold. I love these type of metals as they do not peel, tarnish or loose their original beauty. They are not required by law to disclose their gold or silver content therefor you will not find a stamping like .925 silver or 14kt gold on the beads, charm holders, clasps, etc.
Yes, I did put in quite a few photos, this is so you can make an informed decision to buy this piece for yourself or a deserving friend.
A crimp bead cover is a split bead that folds down and around the crimp. It does leave an unavoidable seam that is barely noticeable. I mention this because after a time consuming struggle a fellow beading ebayer has lost her store because one buyer thought this crimp cover was a broken or plastic bead and left a Negative before even asking the seller about it! Small stores are greatly effected by one N feedback.
If there is a coin in the photos, it is for size comparison only and does not come with the listed item.
Kathy's Extended Warranty is for your security and free! If your item breaks, which it won't but if it does, I will repair it for free! I even pay for all postage! It won't break, but if it does, simply email me so I can send you a SASE to return the beads to me and I will repair it. Please tie off your item so as to keep as many of the beads on the strand as possible so I can recreate the same pattern. It won't break. I have not been abused or used yet because my items don't break; therefore I have not set a time duration to this policy. Within reason, I guess...
DID YOU KNOW? Neutral and Negative feedbacks have the same consequences for a seller therefore any N feedback will shut down a small seller like me. Please, contact me if you are unhappy and give me the chance to make you happy and satisfied. If something has gone wrong, it was completely accidental. I promise to NEVER lie, cheat or steal from you.
And, a little info about the 5 star rating program in Ebay regarding stars for sellers. A seller is removed if they average 4.2 stars and charged more for 4.8 or less. 4 is not a B as in a report card, it is a D and F. We HAVE to receive 5 of 5 stars each and every time. I strive for perfection, not only for these ratings but because you deserve such service. What is worse is that 2 of the 4 of the stars your seller has no control over and yet we are graded as if we do. We should not be held responsible for how long it takes for delivery but for how SOON WE ACTUALLY SHIPPED IT and for the quality of the packaging. I ship within 24 hours Monday through Friday. I list it as 2 days to protect myself for in case I can't.
Also, these little stars also determine how much your seller pays in fees so please help keep prices and fees down by contacting the seller if there is a problem to resolve and leave appropriate feedback and star ratings after the problem is rectified.
