A choker is a short necklace that fits snugly to the neck (from the English 'choke' — to constrict). It is one of the oldest yet most trend-driven kinds of neck ornament: chokers were worn in ancient civilisations, were popular in the Victorian era, saw a vivid revival in the 1990s and remain current today. A choker draws attention to the line of the neck and collarbones, adding a touch of boldness, sensuality or romance to a look — depending on the material. A velvet ribbon sounds vintage and tender, a metal or leather choker modern and daring, a thin chain refined. It works well with bare shoulders and a deep neckline. A choker is an expressive, characterful accessory that instantly sets accents and gives a look individuality. A small ornament with a great power to change the mood.
