Lariat necklaces are a great way to make a unique jewelry statement. A lariat necklace does not have a clasp or hook at the back of the neck like most necklace styles. Instead, you fasten a lariat necklace by tying a knot in the jewelry itself. There are several ways to tie a lariat
necklace. You can choose from a variety of different knots, which each
offer their own aesthetic. Lariat necklaces frequently have
beads or tassels at the end.
Lariat necklaces tied with a simple knot in front are classic and
elegant. Try this look with a formal black dress or dressy business
suit. Place the necklace around your neck, with the ends draping across
your chest. Place both strands of the necklace in one hand. Make a loop
with both strands of the necklace. Pull the ends of the necklace through
the loop to knot the necklace in front. The knot ends of the necklace
should resemble the ends of a bolo tie.
* This necklace is 53" (135cm )
long . I crafted it with peacock blue Matsuno Japanese seed beads, blue
gold stone and copper beads. Even thought lariat usually does not has a
clasp, this one has beautiful floral toggle
Also, you can wear lariat as a belt (why not?)
They are simply magnificent!
