Lariat Necklace with a Turquoise Heart

Some pieces are made. This one was felt first.

The Lariat Necklace with Turquoise Heart is a hand-shaped wearable sculpture from the De Petra Atelier in Houston — where artist Lorena Medinilla has spent 18 years crafting one-of-a-kind art jewelry carried by Anthropologie, Free People, and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston shop.

A gleaming solid brass lariat flows into a hand-formed turquoise heart — raw, natural, and unlike any other. Lorena selects every stone personally for its depth of color and character. No two are ever the same.

• Materials: Solid brass, natural turquoise
• Style: Lariat — adjustable, no clasp needed
• Truly one of a kind: This exact piece exists nowhere else in the world
• Handcrafted in Houston, TX by Lorena Medinilla

Worn by artists, worn on stages, worn in life. This is not jewelry. This is art you put on your body.
