Top 6 Lariat Necklaces

By , About.com Guide

Lariat necklaces are traditionally very long--long enough to wrap around your neck two or more times--and unattached at their ends so that you can tie and knot them in different ways to suit your style. Some necklaces have the lariat look, knotted or clustered in the front with a decorative "tassel" hanging down from the center, but secured in back with a clasp. You'll find both types in this lariat necklace collection.

1) Lori Lori Double Lariat

This 14K gold filled lariat is forty-six inches long, which gives you plenty of options for wearing it. The lariat is beaded with Swarovski crystals in four color choices.

2) Sterling Silver Freshwater Cultured Pearl Heart Lariat Necklace

A freshwater pearl on a sterling silver snake chain drops through and below a sterling silver heart. At 20" in length this is not a long lariat, but it's a very pretty twist on the basic pearl pendant.

3) Scarlett's Lariat Necklace

Add a little sparkle with this delicate pave set chain that dangles through a matching loop. It's set with faux stones and has just the right amount of glitz--pretty but not overpowering.

4) Sterling Silver Lariat with Freshwater Pearls

This sixteen inch sterling silver lariat features two freshwater pearls that dangle beneath a knot in the silver chain. The necklace is secured with a spring ring clasp.

5) Cultured Pearl Lariat Necklace With Diamonds

This delicate freshwater pearl lariat necklace has a larger pearl and diamond drop at one end that drops through an open white gold and diamond circle at the other. The lariat is twenty four inches long.

6) Sterling Silver Etched Drop Lariat Necklace

A long, etched sterling silver bar passes through an open loop to drape gracefully across her breast. This lariat necklace is twenty inches long.
