Luxuriously long, its thick sterling twist-rope ending in two of the richest, most exuberant tassels I have seen lately, this vintage Mexican lariat necklace comes with its custom clip so you can easily vary the way it looks when you have it on. I am a big fan of lariat necklaces and the Mexican maestros created some really exciting examples so I always keep a... Good Eye out for them.
