This unusual lariat necklace is a thick cord braided with faux pearls and and black beads, and with elegant tassels on the ends. The tassels have faceted black beads and rhinestone-studded spacers. The necklace is quite lightweight, and can be worn in a variety of ways, either hanging without any knots or with multiple knots. It could even be worn scarf style. There is some faint age-related wear to the faceted black beads on the tassels, but it is consistent enough to where it looks almost like it was designed that way. A great necklace to wear anytime of the year!
