Our collection explores the beauty of this form through a variety of expressions, from the singular, brilliant sparkle of a solitaire moissanite that dangles with delicate precision, to the intricate shimmer of pavé set hearts and stars.

Whether you are drawn to the warm radiance of our 14k gold plated pieces or the classic purity of polished silver, each necklace is designed to become a cherished part of your story.

Choosing Your Signature Lynore Lariat
Selecting the perfect silver lariat necklace is a personal journey of expression. This style is inherently versatile, yet each unique design within the Lynore collection offers a different narrative. Consider the elements that resonate most with your individual taste and the story you wish to tell. From the symbolism of the pendant to the finish of the metal, let this guide help you discover the piece that feels as though it were crafted just for you, a future heirloom that perfectly captures your essence.
- Reflect on the Motif: The dangling element of a lariat is its heart. Our collection is rich with symbolism. Are you drawn to the romantic glimmer of our Moissanite Infinity Heart Lariat Necklace or the classic devotion represented by the Moissanite Infinity Cross Lariat Necklace? Perhaps the celestial sparkle of the Sterling Silver Y-Shape Star Moissanite Necklace captures your imagination. We also offer serene and classic designs, such as the 1ct Moissanite Solitaire Y-Shape Necklace, which focuses purely on the brilliant stone and the elegant form of the necklace itself. Each motif, from a simple solitaire to an intricate cross, offers a unique way to express your personality.
- Select Your Shimmer: The soul of our necklaces lies in their brilliant stones. The majority of our lariats feature dazzling moissanite, a gemstone celebrated for its incredible fire and hardness, making it perfect for everyday elegance. For a different kind of luster, consider the soft, organic glow of a Freshwater Pearl, as seen in pieces that beautifully combine pearls with moissanite or cubic zirconia accents. We also utilize high quality cubic zirconia and colored zirconia in select designs, such as the Pink Heart Cut Zirconia Necklace, for those who desire a specific pop of color or a different style of sparkle.
- Choose Your Precious Metal Finish: The foundation of our collection is lustrous, genuine 925 sterling silver, a classic choice prized for its bright, cool tone that complements any complexion. For those who prefer a warmer hue, we offer stunning variations. Select pieces, like our 14K Gold Plated Moissanite Pave Cross Necklace, are finished with a rich layer of gold plating over a sterling silver base, providing the luxurious look of gold with the quality of a precious silver core. This choice allows you to match your necklace perfectly to your existing jewelry collection, whether you favor silver, gold, or mixed metals.
- Consider the Level of Detail: How much sparkle do you desire? Your choice can range from the minimalist beauty of a single stone to an intricate, fully embellished design. A piece like the 2ct Moissanite Four-Claw Solitaire Necklace offers a bold, singular statement. In contrast, a pavé style, such as the Pavé Moissanite Heart Pendant Necklace, features many small moissanite stones set closely together for a surface of uninterrupted brilliance. Consider also our halo designs, where a central stone is encircled by smaller ones, amplifying its presence and creating a truly glamorous effect.
- Match Your Lifestyle and Wardrobe: The beauty of the lariat is its adaptability. A delicate design like the Sideways Moissanite Cross Necklace in Sterling Silver is subtle enough for daily wear, adding a touch of grace to your work attire or casual outfits. For more significant occasions or to complement a plunging neckline, a more dramatic piece like the Moissanite Infinity Cross Lariat Necklace creates an unforgettable focal point. Think about the necklines you wear most often; the Y-shape of a lariat is particularly stunning with V-necks, scoop necks, and button-down shirts, but its elegance can elevate even a simple crew neck.
The Allure of the Y-Shape Silhouette
The Y-shape necklace, often called a lariat or drop necklace, possesses a unique and captivating charm that sets it apart from all other styles. Its allure lies in its elegant, fluid structure that creates a visual line, drawing the gaze gently downwards. This has a wonderfully flattering effect, creating an illusion of length and grace for the neck and décolletage. Unlike a traditional pendant that sits at a fixed point, the lariat moves with the wearer, its dangling element catching the light and adding a subtle dynamic energy to your look. At Lynore, we have embraced this silhouette in designs like the Sterling Silver Y-Shape Star Moissanite Necklace and the 1ct Moissanite Solitaire Y-Shape Necklace. These pieces exemplify how the form can be both minimalist and impactful. The design is exceptionally versatile, pairing as beautifully with a crisp professional blouse as it does with a formal evening gown. It can fill the space of a V-neckline with perfect symmetry or lie gracefully over a high-necked sweater, adding a touch of sophisticated detail. This inherent adaptability makes the Y-shape a modern staple in any well-curated jewelry collection, offering a touch of contemporary elegance that feels both timeless and fresh.
Moissanite: The Heart of Our Brilliance
At the core of the Lynore collection lies the extraordinary brilliance of moissanite. This remarkable gemstone is our stone of choice for its exceptional properties that make it a perfect centerpiece for fine jewelry. Moissanite is known for its unparalleled fire, which is the beautiful rainbow-like light that reflects from within the stone. This dispersion of light is even greater than that of traditional gems, resulting in a dazzling, fiery sparkle that is truly captivating. In addition to its fire, moissanite possesses an incredible brilliance, referring to the amount of white light it reflects back to the eye. Our designs, from the Three Stone Moissanite Bar Pendant to the 2ct Moissanite Four-Claw Solitaire Necklace, are specifically crafted to maximize this stunning visual effect. The durability of moissanite is also exceptional, making it resistant to scratching and chipping, and ensuring it is suitable for the rigors of daily wear. This means your Lynore necklace is not just for special occasions; it is a piece of enduring beauty meant to be worn and cherished every day. By choosing moissanite, we offer you a stone of spectacular beauty and lasting quality, ensuring every Lynore piece shines with an inner light that will never fade.
Your Lariat Necklace Questions Answered
What is a lariat necklace?
A lariat necklace is a style of necklace characterized by its unique Y-shape, which is formed by a single chain that either loops around the neck and is left with two dangling ends, or more commonly, features a chain that passes through a decorative element like a ring or has a central drop from which a single strand descends. Unlike a traditional necklace with a clasp at the back and a central pendant, a lariat has no conventional clasp and its decorative focus is the long, linear drop. This creates a distinctive, elegant, and modern silhouette. The name 'lariat' is derived from the rope used by cowboys, which has a similar adjustable loop. In jewelry, this translates to a fluid and often adjustable design that draws the eye vertically, beautifully accentuating the collarbone and décolletage. The dangling end can be adorned with anything from a simple metal bar to a brilliant gemstone, like the moissanite solitaires and heart pendants found in the Lynore collection. Its versatility allows it to be worn with various necklines, making it a sophisticated and contemporary addition to any jewelry wardrobe.
Is 925 sterling silver good for necklaces?
Yes, 925 sterling silver is an excellent and highly popular choice for fine necklaces, and it is the foundational material for the Lynore collection. The number '925' signifies that the metal is composed of 92.5% pure silver, with the remaining 7.5% being a careful alloy of other metals, typically copper. This alloy is crucial because pure silver is too soft for crafting durable jewelry. The addition of other metals gives sterling silver the strength and resilience required for everyday wear, ensuring your necklace resists bending and damage. Sterling silver is prized for its beautiful, bright white luster that is both timeless and versatile, complementing all skin tones and styles. Furthermore, it is a precious metal, offering intrinsic value and a sense of luxury. For most people, it is also hypoallergenic, making it a comfortable choice for those with sensitive skin. With proper care, a 925 sterling silver necklace like our Polished Silver Cross Necklace with Wheat Chain will maintain its beauty for a lifetime, developing a lovely patina over time or easily being polished back to its original brilliant shine. It offers the perfect balance of beauty, durability, and value for high-quality jewelry.
How do I care for my Lynore silver and moissanite necklace?
Caring for your Lynore sterling silver and moissanite necklace is simple and will ensure it remains a brilliant, cherished piece for years to come. We recommend removing your necklace before swimming, showering, or applying lotions and perfumes, as harsh chemicals and moisture can cause the silver to tarnish more quickly. To clean your necklace, use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the surface after each wear. This removes oils and residues that can accumulate. For a deeper clean, prepare a solution of warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap. Submerge the necklace for a few minutes, then use a very soft-bristled toothbrush to gently clean around the moissanite settings and within the chain links. Rinse the necklace thoroughly with clean water and pat it completely dry with a soft cloth before storing. It is crucial that the piece is fully dry to prevent tarnish. When you are not wearing your necklace, store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in a soft pouch or a lined jewelry box, separate from other pieces to prevent scratching. Following these simple steps will preserve the bright luster of your 925 sterling silver and the dazzling fire of your moissanite stones.
Can I wear a lariat necklace every day?
Absolutely. A lariat necklace can certainly be a beautiful and elegant choice for everyday wear, thanks to its modern versatility and the durable materials used in the Lynore collection. Our pieces are crafted from robust 925 sterling silver and set with moissanite, a gemstone known for its exceptional hardness and resistance to scratches, making it perfectly suited for the demands of daily life. For daily wear, you might opt for one of the more understated designs in our collection. A piece like the 1ct Moissanite Solitaire Y-Shape Necklace or the Dainty Moissanite Cross Necklace in Sterling Silver offers a touch of refined sparkle that is subtle enough for a professional setting or a casual day out. These simpler styles add a sophisticated accent without being overpowering. More elaborate pieces, such as those with significant pavé detailing or larger stones, might feel more appropriate for special occasions, but this is entirely a matter of personal style. The key is comfort and confidence. The lariat's flattering silhouette complements a wide range of everyday necklines, from T-shirts to blouses, making it a wonderfully adaptable piece to incorporate into your signature daily look.
