Hidden Hollow Beads Slim Style Women's Fashion Beaded Lanyard, 34" Jewelry Lanyard for ID Badge Holder and Keys

I gave this only four stars just because it is new, so I can't speak for it's durability. But I'm super happy with this product and the company. I bought this because I bought a solid steel Celtic design lanyard from this company and LOVED it. Its super solid and will likely last a lifetime +. Then I bought this lanyard from the same company because I figured for safety purposes (though I doubt its realistically necessary in my line of work, but the lanyard my employer supplied had a release) I better get the safety feature detachable lanyard. I like this slim lanyard because it allows me to carry my badges in my small purse (unlike bulky cloth strap lanyards) and it goes with everything I wear. It appears strong as the beads are strung on wound steel wire. I have other jewelry with the same type of magnetic clasp which is very strong. I've worn this for a couple of weeks & had one or two instances where the clasp opened from the lanyard being pulled. I have three badges and a key hanging off this, so it holds a reasonable weight. I like it so much i also bought the multi colored bead one from same company for fashion choice, tho have not used it yet. I like ease of detaching badges on jump ring from the lanyard for times I have to go into an area where I cannot wear the length of beading (e.g. a detention center, where the length of lanyard could potentially transformed into a choking device). I highly recommend this item. One Year Update - still getting compliments all the time - I wear this daily, have added a couple more small keys and it holds them. No problems, comfortable to wear, works great, light yet sturdy.

This lanyard is beautiful and functional! I love how it can dress my outfit up. Working with kids, it is important to have a lanyard that will break away if pulled. The magnet is durable and will pull apart if needed. This is the third time buying this lanyard. I put a lot of wear on them and they haven’t broken apart. I wish they would sell this as a necklace because I would definitely buy one!

I love the lanyard. It's very pretty and made very well. It doesn't make me feel like it's going to break with an unexpected tug. The magnets are strong and it is able to break away, but not so easily that it falls off if it gets hung on something. I would love to see a 2 length version sold. I would pay a few dollars extra for a little longer version. I am a tall person and a teacher, so I use my classroom keys a lot as well as my security badge. I have to bend over to unlock doors or take it off completely. This is probably a great length for a smaller/shorter person, so keep it for those folks. But if these are handmade, go ahead and offer that little longer version. And if this happens, hopefully the company notifies me. I would be happy to repurchase the product.

This is perfect for my work ID. I can't stand jewelry and things being around my neck, so I frequently just rip it off. There's actually something very satisfying in being able to rip it off your neck and throw it down on the table in a particularly tense meeting. I've never had it come off when I didn't want it to. I combined it with a small retractable cable so I can easily open doors etc, without having to lean over and open them with my boobs. Occasionally it grabs my hair, and that's slightly annoying. ***UPDATE*** Almost a year later, and it's held up as good as new. This is exactly the lanyard you're looking for. ***UPDATE #2*** I did finally have to replace it after two years, but I'm really rough on this thing. I have a lot of tense meetings. Two years is a great lifespan for me. I tried another one, but I was wrong and it was rubbish. This is absolutely the lanyard you're looking for.

Would recommend. Great to attach to my badge at work. Makes me feel a little more dressy than a typical fabric lanyard. I like that is has the magnetic closure, especially since I work within in office in a manufacturing environment, so if it were to ever get caught in a machine when I am out on the floor talking to employees, it would come off without dragging me with it! Seems decent quality, especially for the price. I would buy again. Might not last several years, but it looks like and does exactly what I purchased it for.

I wasn't expecting that much when I ordered this lanyard; I just wanted one with white beads in it. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the package and felt the weight of it. It felt like I was wearing jewelry. A lot of the lanyards I own are very lightweight and cheaply made. This one has a silver hook that is sturdy, and the combination of silver beads and white, translucent beads is lovely. I will mostly likely purchase another of these lanyards in a different color, for variety. Very happy with this purchase.

I loved this lanyard, but it broke today and I purchased it in January. I liked that it had a magnetic clasp. I am going to edit this comment, the company replaced the lanyard and I believe has a lifetime warranty. That is why I'm changing the stars to 5.

Loved this originally and it has been very sturdy yet beautiful. Unfortunately the magnet clasp turned the back of my neck green. Just that spot where the magnet clasp sits, no issue with the other metal pieces.

Beautiful. Magnet seems strong for now. All plastic beads but that’s good so it’s not too heavy

I ordered two from Hidden Hollow Beads and both are beautiful, and is exactly as advertised. My staff really love them and will probably be ordering.

The lanyard is so beautiful, but unfortunately it doesn't last. The magnets don't release when the lanyard catches on something. Even a moderate tug will send all the beads spilling onto the floor. Maybe a jeweller could fix it, but otherwise it's gone once it breaks. Where the lanyard meets the magnets, the connection is weak. This has happened twice to me, so it's not just one faulty lanyard. Sad, because they're gorgeous.

Looks great, works great.

Attractive and break-a-way magnet works well.
