A creative and stylish accessory - a choker - looks like a collar. Despite this slightly strange comparison, this jewelry looks great on a woman’s neck and is suitable for creating many looks.
The word "choker" is English and is translated as "strangler". Its main feature is that the product fits tightly to the neck and can be adjusted in size.
A few centuries later, around the 18th century, high hairstyles and dresses with a deep, revealing neckline became fashionable among European noble ladies. The neck seemed “empty”, so they tried to decorate it in every possible way. So, at that time, the “velvet” decoration - a neck band made of black velvet - became popular. Velvet was worn until the beginning of the 19th century, when it was replaced by a classic rich necklace.
The choker, but already wide and again obscenely expensive, continued to be worn at the beginning of the twentieth century. Then it was a fabric decoration with a tablet in the center, on which pearls, precious metals and diamonds were perfectly combined.
In difficult war times, chokers, like other jewelry, were forgotten. Then there was simply no time for them: people were thinking about how to survive.However, in the middle of the century, chokers returned again, primarily thanks to such film stars as Sophia Loren, Brigitte Bardot, and Marilyn Monroe.

In the 80s, extravagant jewelry came into fashion and was actively worn by punks, rockers and representatives of other subcultures. Back then, chokers looked like real collars with spikes, metal inserts and heavy buckles.
Nowadays, like decades ago, such decoration is relevant. He has more than enough varieties. For example, many different models are popular, made from both quite classic and original materials. Chokers made of satin, velvet and even brocade look great.
Openwork decoration looks interesting, especially in summer in combination with a light dress.

The classic version is a string of pearls that fits tightly to the neck. A choker made of precious metals or stones also looks luxurious and solemn. A more casual option is jewelry made of leather or suede, decorated with wooden or metal inserts.
This product is considered universal, since it can be combined with a wide variety of clothes, the main condition of which is a deep neckline. It is important to remember that a choker is completely self-sufficient and noticeable; it should not be combined with large earrings or other neck jewelry. One thing must attract attention, otherwise the image will not be stylish, but tasteless.
