The Lanyard-cum-Necklace is an original design that is inspired by my working days.
So one of the first things I HAD to make when I started this crafty business was a lanyard that acted as a piece of jewellery. Not just a pretty lanyard. The Lanyard Necklace had to:
- be sturdy since it will be worn every working day
- match all possible outfits a woman would wear
- be so pretty, a woman would want to wear it outside of work too - and be able to (ie. a convertible necklace!)
- be meaningful - putting on the necklace as a reminder of putting on one's calling to the job (because it's not just a job that one is doing, but a vocation one believes in).
I'm so excited by Anna's versatility. With all those colours, you can be sure it will match your outfit of the day. You wear the long chain for your work ID. After work, simply unhook the work ID from the long chain and it transforms into a necklace for after-work activities.
There is even an option to layer on one or two additional chains for a more dramatic look:

On off days, the two shorter chains can function as individual necklaces or as a set, much like The Quality Necklace. In other words, this Lanyard Necklace set gives you 7 looks in total.
Now what about the meaning behind Anna? If you will permit me to go into history, the inspiration for the colours come from the garments of the high priest in the Jewish temple. His ephod (the apron-like piece) was woven of gold, blue, purple and scarlet yarns. Customisations include having the beads in a single colour, or any combinations of the 4 coulours available. |
I have named the necklace Anna, whose story can be found in Luke 2:36-38. I think her life displays steadfastness, hope and wisdom.
My prayer is that our heavenly Father empowers and enables you to fulfill your vocation with Anna's qualities.
Because it's not just a job that you do, but something you believe in. It's a calling - and a meaningful and satisfying one at that.
