Leather and Pearl Lariat Necklace

This piece of jewelry is a contemporary, rustic-style lariat or wrap necklace featuring two large pearls integrated with a dark brown leather cord. The necklace is constructed from a thin, round, genuine leather strand, appearing approximately 1.5mm to 2mm in thickness, with a deep mahogany or chocolate finish. The primary adornments are two semi-round to baroque-style white pearls, likely cultured freshwater pearls, which exhibit a silvery-white luster and visible surface irregularities characteristic of organic growth. One pearl is threaded through the cord, acting as a sliding element, while the other serves as a terminal bead or toggle at the end of the strand. The leatherwork includes a sliding knot or loop mechanism at one end, which suggests an adjustable length or a toggle-style closure. The overall aesthetic is bohemian and minimalist, typical of late 20th to early 21st-century artisanal jewelry. The condition appears fair to good: the pearls show some surface pitting and concentric ring growth, which are natural rather than damage-related, and the leather cord shows mild creasing but no significant fraying or structural weakness. No visible maker’s marks are discernible in the photograph, indicating a handcrafted or boutique origin rather than a mass-market brand.
