Lariat Y-Necklace

A lariat necklace, also called a Y necklace, draws a single vertical line of light down the neckline. It is the most effortless way to make an open collar or an evening neckline feel finished. Every Amorati lariat features lab-grown diamonds held to our E-F color, VS+ clarity standard and is crafted in solid gold. Wear it alone or layer it over a shorter chain.

Diamond Lariat And Y-Necklaces

A lariat or Y-necklace drops a line of diamonds down the center of the neckline, lengthening the silhouette and drawing the eye downward in a single graceful stroke. The difference between a lariat and a Y-necklace is in the drop. A Y-necklace has a fixed drop, while a lariat traditionally has an adjustable or open drop that can be worn in more than one way. Both share the same vertical line that makes this style so flattering. Neckline is the key to wearing one well. A Y-necklace suits V-necks and open collars, where the drop can follow the shape of the opening and rest against the skin. With a crisp shirt worn open at the collar, it adds a fine line of light. This style also layers well. Wear it with a short pendant, or with a shorter choker or pendant placed above, so the layers move from close at the throat to long at the center. The contrast between the two lengths adds depth without clutter. For a necklace that feels modern and refined at once, a lariat or Y-necklace brings diamonds into a long, elegant line that flatters with every step.
