Chokers are short, neck-hugging necklaces, usually fourteen to sixteen inches long. They often have a length adjustment device at the clasp.
All types of chokers look fantastic on a long neck. If your neck is shorter, and on the heavy side, try a narrow choker, a choker with a pendant to add the illusion of length, or a delicate choker made by crimping stones or beads randomly on invisible or delicate wire.
Experiment until you find a choker style that's just right for you.
1) Rhinestone Chokers
Rhinestones are perfect if you really want to sparkle! Some of the chokers here have five or more strands of rhinestones that encircle your neck. Others are more subtle, providing a touch of glitter, but not enough to make your date wear sunglasses.
2) Pearl Chokers
Subtle pearl chokers and chokers with multiple strands of pearls to hug your neck. Some of the chokers here are made with faux (imitation) pearls, so read the fine print. You'll probably know which ones they are when you see their (low) prices. Faux can be good, so be sure to take a look.
3) Crystal Chokers
Crystals can provide as much glitter as rhinestones and this group of crystal chokers lets you choose from just about any style you can imagine. Crystals alone and crystals combined with semi-precious gems make up the bulk of the designs. The gemstone combos are really pretty, because carnelian, turquoise and other gems add a soft touch of color.
4) Silver Chokers
For anyone who loves the soft patina of silver. You'll find a nice selection of styles in this group of silver chokers. Read the descriptions carefully to find out if necklaces are sterling silver or if the description refers only to the silver color of the metal used.
5) Memory Wire Chokers
Memory wire is a beading wire that does what it says, remembers its roundish shape. Beads of all types are strung on these rigid wires that you bend open to wrap around your neck. There are no clasps, the ends of the wire are secured when they overlap each other at the back.
