Long Green Beaded Multi Strand Lariat Necklace
Julia Hutchins Designs
This is a very versatile lariat style necklace that I
designed using some gorgeous glass seed beads
in dark, vibrant green colors.  To accent these
beads, I have used a variety of glass beads and
Czech crystals throughout.  The focal bead is a
gorgeous handmade dark green lampwork bead
with floral accents.

There are four strands in this necklace, with the
longest measuring just over 44 inches long. I used
multi strand nylon coated wire for strength and
durability.  This wire is very flexible and kink
resistant.  You can wear this in a multitude of styles.
You can wrap it a few times around your neck for a
choker length, or leave it long and "flapper" like, with
the focal bead either high or low in the front. You
can also wrap it  around your neck, with the focal
bead close to your neck and the long ends dangling
down to your waist.

You can wrap two strands around one side of your
neck, two strands around the other, and bring the
ends through the loop by the focal bead, again,
placing the focal bead high or low in the front. You
can also let the ends hang down your back - the
perfect piece for dress with a low back. This piece
could also be wrapped around your waist as a belt.
The possibilities are endless, and whichever way
you wear it you will be sure to garner attention!
