Choker around the neck. What does it mean? The history of the choker. What to wear?

Chok­er trans­lat­ed from Eng­lish means “stran­gler”. This val­ue is very well suit­ed for this piece, as it is a short neck­lace that fits snug­ly around the neck and has an adjuster. Thanks to this, the jew­el­ry is ide­al for any woman and is adjustable depend­ing on the thick­ness of the neck.

Many believe that chok­ers appeared only a few years ago, but in fact this is a rather old ver­sion of jew­el­ry, which was pre­ferred even by queens, duchess­es and oth­er nobil­i­ty. And there is also an ear­ly ver­sion of chok­ers: African tribes wore such jew­el­ry in the form of met­al rings from child­hood, and every year they added one ring.

The Indi­ans had a spe­cial rela­tion­ship with chok­ers, who made them from threads, beads, and dec­o­rat­ed them with feath­ers. And for the leader, such a chok­er was made by a shaman, speak­ing to pro­tect the own­er, and he was spe­cial for a per­son. For many nations, this dec­o­ra­tion also car­ries a deep con­no­ta­tion, and is also inter­pret­ed dif­fer­ent­ly depend­ing on the vari­ant. Since then, chok­ers have only changed and acquired a lot of vari­eties depend­ing on the style of cloth­ing.

What are chokers made of and what are they worn with?
