Bead station lariat necklace, gold

This is the piece Foxgirl is known for, with over a thousand ratings at 4.4 stars. Small gold beads sit at stations along a 20 inch Y-shaped chain, and the 5.5 inch drop ends in a short beaded tail. It layers cleanly over t-shirts and under open collars because the beads give it presence without a pendant swinging around. Brass core, 14k gold plating, lobster clasp with a 2 inch extender. At this price it is the obvious first Foxgirl purchase.

1. 01

   Bead stations instead of a pendant

   The gold beads are fixed at intervals, so the necklace keeps its structure as you move. No pendant to flip backwards or slide off-center.

2. 02

   Long 5.5 inch drop

   The tail hangs noticeably lower than the brand's CZ lariats, which suits crew necks and higher necklines where a short drop would get lost.

3. 03

   Proven by volume

   With 1,090 ratings this is the most reviewed item in the catalog. The recurring praise is that it looks more expensive than it costs; the recurring complaint is that plating needs care.

4. 04

   Handmade construction

   The listing describes the bar and bead assembly as handmade. Expect minor variation between pieces, which is normal for this construction.
