A lariat necklace is one of the most-worn pieces of fine jewellery. A lariat necklace has an open chain that loops through itself or ends in a dangling accent, creating a Y-shape silhouette that elongates the neckline.
Who a lariat necklace works for
Evening wear, v-necks, and anyone who wants a necklace with intentional silhouette rather than a simple pendant drop.
What to look for
18K solid gold chain and pendant (not plated, not gold-filled), a secure clasp (our default is a spring-ring for chains under 18 inches and a lobster clasp for longer), and. For diamond pendants above 0.30 ct. A GIA grading report. Lab-grown diamonds are chemically identical to mined diamonds and cost roughly 40–60% less, so every carat weight becomes more accessible.
Chain length
16 inches sits at the base of the neck (choker). 18 inches. Our default. Sits just below the collarbone and works with most necklines. 20–22 inches drops lower and layers cleanly with a shorter chain. Every necklace ships with an adjustable chain unless stated.
