Studio Time: Classic Lariat with Glass Beads

I think this is a design keeper. I love this necklace. It gets rave reviews when I wear it. It's fun and bright and incorporates my absolutely favorite color combination of turquoise (light and dark) and green. (I am planning on keeping this one for myself, but if you're interested in it, let me know. I can always make myself a new one.)

I have to admit my influence for this design. It's from the movie, Something's Gotta Give. Do you remember the scene when the Diane Keaton character went on her first date with the Keanu Reeves character? She was wearing a sizzling hot, classic, little black dress. She looked fabulous. And she wore a little black necklace that drew my eye immediately. I think what's amazing about this design is that it drew my eye and this was four years before I began even considering making jewelry myself. I looked it up and it's a Brook Jasmine lasso.

My version is a long lariat style that could be worn looped on the neck for a shorter necklace or tied as a long necklace.

Simple
Elegant
A bit western

Bright


A great piece for everyday wear.

  2. Very cute lariat and earrings! I can see why you want to keep them. I have separation anxiety almost every time I part with something I've made.
