I am aware that many of my readers are in the Foreign Service and wear badges to work. I make gemstone necklaces and lanyards. My lanyards are a bit longer so that at the end of the day, if you go out, you can remove your badge, wrap the lanyard around your neck twice and it's a lovely necklace. When I was in Muscat, my friend Cheri came up with the name Necklards and it stuck.
I wanted to let you know that I now sell them on Etsy. While serving overseas, I couldn't do this because it's against regulations to profit by using the DPO mail. But now that I'm retired (yippeee!) I have started up making more and selling them on Etsy. I'm also going to take a sample with me to every doctor's appointment and give it to the Office Manager (and make her promise to wear it!). If someone has a color scheme for their favorite pro team, office colors or their kid's soccer team, I can take special orders.
Anyway, I am tooting my own horn, waving my own banner or whatever phrase you want to use, but hey...I'm retired now and can get away with much more!
Here's my Etsy link... https://www.etsy.com/shop/NimbleFingersBeads
and here's a couple of samples. Christmas is coming and I have about 50 beaded necklaces as well. More added each day!
