It’s most commonly called a lanyard—you’ll also see it described as a neck strap or key lanyard. These are worn around your neck and use hardware like a clip, swivel hook, or key ring to hold keys, ID badges, or small accessories.

• Common uses: work IDs, school badges, travel and cruise cards, house or car keys.
• Typical features: breakaway safety release, detachable buckle, adjustable length, or dual hooks.
• Style options: simple polyester, PU leather, braided paracord, or sparkly rhinestone designs.

If you’re browsing, filter by the attachment you need (key ring vs. badge holder) and choose a strap style that feels comfortable for all-day wear.

That’s a neck lanyard (often called a key lanyard or ID badge lanyard). The name can vary, but the idea is the same—an easy, hands-free way to carry keys or IDs.

• Hardware to consider: swivel hooks for badge sleeves, split rings for keys, lobster clasps for quick on/off, and detachable buckles for convenience.
• Configurations: single-clip, dual hooks for badge + keys, or versions with built-in card holders.
• Materials: soft polyester for everyday comfort, PU leather for a polished look, braided paracord for durability.

Match the attachment to what you carry most. For example, a split ring secures keys, while a hook pairs well with an ID pouch.

You’ll see them listed as key lanyards, badge lanyards, or simply neck lanyards. The naming often reflects their primary use or build.

• Key lanyard: geared toward key rings and quick clips.
• Badge lanyard: designed to hold an ID sleeve; some include dual hooks for balance.
• Heavy-duty/paracord lanyard: braided for strength and outdoor use.
• Fashion lanyard: rhinestone, beaded, or leather looks for a dressier feel.

Feature options can include a breakaway clasp for snag situations and detachable buckles for easy access. Picking the right style depends on what you carry and how you use it day to day.

If it’s meant for everyday carrying, the practical term is a lanyard or neck strap. People sometimes say “key necklace,” but that usually refers to jewelry. On this page, you’ll find functional neck lanyards with hardware to hold keys, badges, or small accessories.

• Utility-first styles: polyester or paracord with clips, rings, or hooks.
• Fashion-forward options: PU leather, beaded, or rhinestone “bling” straps that still include a clasp.
• Comfort details: adjustable lengths and lightweight builds for all-day wear.

Choose a look that fits your vibe while ensuring the attachment matches what you carry—form and function can go hand in hand.

A few features can help keep keys secure and easy to reach, depending on how you use your lanyard.

• Split ring or key ring: classic, reliable hold for multiple keys.
• Swivel hook or lobster clasp: quick attach/remove with reduced tangling.
• Detachable buckle: lets you unclip keys without removing the lanyard, which can reduce wear on the strap.
• Dual hooks: separates keys from an ID holder for better balance.
• Wider strap or durable weave: added comfort and sturdiness; braided options offer extra ruggedness.

Consider the weight you plan to carry and avoid overloading the hardware. A breakaway clasp is available on many styles and may be preferred in environments where snagging could occur.
