Choker Length

A choker length necklace measures 14-16 inches and sits snugly around the base of the neck, high on the throat, creating a dramatic and elegant look.

This length works best with off-shoulder, strapless, or plunging necklines as it sits above most clothing necklines. Chokers can make the neck appear longer and are particularly flattering on those with long necks and smaller frames. They can range from delicate single strands to elaborate multi-row designs.

Chokers have cycled in and out of fashion since the Victorian era and experienced major revivals in the 1990s and 2010s. Modern chokers include everything from delicate diamond chains to velvet ribbons with pendants.
