Why do Women wear Choker Necklaces to look Glamorous and Powerful?

There are hundreds of different jewelry trends that have emerged in the past few years. These trends are often cyclical, and might re-emerge after different periods of time. Be it religious pieces with elaborate symbols and images that are important to people, or simple customized jewelry pieces with initials or other images that might be special to the person.

Overall, it seems as if the jewelry industry has transformed. Earlier, people would look for ‘over the top’ jewelry pieces that are sure to be noticed wherever they go. These pieces were rigid, were visually brilliant, but did little to ‘define’ the wearer.

Nowadays, people prefer pieces that fall in line with their personality, tastes and preferences. The idea is not to get impressive most pieces that will be noticed. Rather, they want jewelry items that complement their personality. This simple transformation has effectively changed the entire jewelry industry.

What are choker necklaces?

Choker necklaces are effectively close-fitting pieces that get their name because they appear to be physically choking the wearer. These pieces are considered bold, have a vast range of assorted designs, and are a trend in western market.

Various gold and silver choker necklaces have been considered to be part of certain cultures. For example, in India these pieces are often seen on brides, and are said to be very valuable. While most pieces traditionally are traditionally made of gold and have a plethora of different gemstones and diamonds, other materials can also be used. Particularly in the more western translations of this trend, metals such as platinum and silver have been seen to be used.

Regardless, the inherent beauty, the extravagant nature of these pieces, apart from the characteristic ‘choker’ are all features that are commonly seen in choker necklaces.

Where to buy choker necklaces?

It is true that choker necklaces are made keeping in mind the female gender. However, there are not many reliable sources of choker necklaces for women that you can find. This is because the sheer hard work and the amount of time required to come up with these elaborate pieces makes it difficult for craftsmen to pull off.

Further, most people in western countries like the US do not prefer such elaborate and heavy traditional choker necklaces that are not mobile, and especially not suitable for individuals who prefer subtle pieces. Therefore, quite a few craftsmen have made their job easy, and come up with subtle designs and pieces that can effectively compliment the ‘choker’ feature of such necklaces.

For example, the diamond choker necklace has a handful of sparkling diamonds. Specifically, the piece has two sets of two linked Merlon diamond bars and 3 solitaire diamonds, featured with a thin and subtle yellow gold chain which makes for a unique necklace without being too heavy.

The piece comes with an adjustable chain, and features 18k gold bars and bezels.
