Lariat Love

Lariats are such versatile necklaces that can be worn so many different ways.  One of my favorite aspects of lariats is that they can be easily layered with so many different necklaces but have enough power and oomph to stand on their own.  

One of my preferred lariat designs is a leather 2mm strand accented with 8 generous sized fresh water pearls; I love to wear 5 on one side and 3 on the other.  I love this look because I typically will wear it simply knotted and then pair it with a matching leather pearl choker.  I have this double layered necklace look displayed on my site and it is one of my most popular sellers. 

My newest lariat design is to use flat deerskin leather strands accented with spectacular baroque pearls.  Baroque's are truly one of my favorite pearls and I just love how it looks with a double wrap, especially with a v-neck style top or dress.  So the next time you are shopping for a new look, remember that lariats can be worn so many ways.  My three top favorites are:

• Long with a simple knot with one length longer than the other
• Wrapped twice around the neck giving the illusion that your wearing a choker 
• Doubled up then pulled through the loop (as shown in photo)
