*Be Creative* Make a Lariat Necklace

Lariats are so stylish. Chain makes a great base for these necklaces providing strength and durability. I've made many lariats for keeps and give aways and to sell. I usually choose chains that have uniform link sizes large enough to wire wrap multiple beads and trinkets cause that's just the kind of girl I am. Nothing makes me happier than loading up the ends of the chains with many different colors, shapes and textures.

This picture shows off some left over AB2X crystals hanging from Antique copper chain with 4mm rounded beveled links. A great choice for lariats.

You can customize the length.. I usually use 32 inches to 42 inches of chain.. depending on how many times I want to wrap the neckline.

Here is a list of favorite chains to use for lariat chain jewelry
