What Are Lariat Necklaces?
Unlike traditional chain styles, lariat necklaces are characterized by their “Y” or drop-shaped silhouette. Instead of using a clasp, one end threads through a loop or ring to create a sleek, elongated line that flatters your collarbone and décolletage. The result is a flowing, adjustable style that brings subtle drama and feminine charm to any outfit.
From understated chains to luxurious versions adorned with diamonds and gemstones, lariat necklaces offer both simplicity and sophistication.
Why Choose a Lariat Necklace?
1. Versatile Design
The sliding nature of the lariat style allows for adjustable lengths and styling options. Wear it as a plunging Y-neckline piece or keep it high and snug for a choker-inspired silhouette.
2. Ideal for Layering
Lariats pair beautifully with short chains, chokers, or even long pendant necklaces. They add dimension and create a curated, personalized jewelry look.
3. Elevates Every Look
Whether worn with a deep V-neck dress or a classic button-up, a lariat necklace brings attention and refinement to your neckline.
4. Available in Every Finish
From classic gold lariat necklaces to glistening diamond lariat necklaces, you can find a style to suit casual days or glamorous nights.

How to Style a Lariat Necklace
For Everyday Minimalism
Pair a dainty gold lariat necklace with a plain crew neck tee or silk blouse. Let the necklace drop naturally for an effortless statement.
Office-Ready Looks
Wear your lariat with a button-down shirt, allowing the chain to peek through the open collar. It adds polish and subtle femininity to business attire.
Evening Glamour
Opt for a diamond lariat necklace with a plunging neckline or backless dress. The sparkle and elongation will enhance your elegance and frame your décolletage beautifully.
Layering Tips
- Combine with chokers and shorter chains
- Use contrasting textures (e.g., box chain + lariat)
- Add a pendant necklace for added drama
