The last globe is held by a filigree metal cap. The cap is a work of art that looks like lace but is metal. Tiny metal spacers are used so that the necklace hangs beautifully. A lariat necklace is great in creating interesting asymmetry. It can be worn open and hanging straight, wrapped around the neck or knotted at varying lengths.
