What’s great about the lariat is that it fills in a v-neckline perfectly, unlike a piece that rests at the collarbone or slightly beneath it. It’s the perfect complement to a work outfit.

Here, NY designer Rachel Reinhardt offers a pretty multi-colour piece, composed of freshwater pearls, crystal and 22k gold plated beads. It is 45 inches long (end to end) and sells for USD $188 on Reinhardt’s web site.
