Buying a Choker: What is a Choker and When Do You Wear It?

The choker is the most elegant neck jewelry the jewelry world has to offer. A wide, multi-strand, or particularly artfully set necklace that frames the décolletage – that's the choker. We'll show you what defines it and for which occasions it's perfect.

What distinguishes a choker from a necklace?

  • A choker is wider and more voluminous than a normal necklace.
  • It often fits snugly around the neck (20–38 cm).
  • The craftsmanship is more elaborate – often multi-strand or set with gemstones.
  • It is designed as the main piece of jewelry – do not wear anything else with it.

Types of Chokers

  • Choker Necklace: Sits tightly around the neck (35–38 cm) – elegant and modern.
  • Princess Choker: Classic length (43–48 cm) – the most versatile type.
  • Biedermeier Choker: Multi-strand, wide – very festive.
  • Diamond Choker: Set with brilliant-cut diamonds – the epitome of luxury.
  • Pearl Choker: Multi-strand pearl necklace – timeless elegance.

For which occasions?

  • Galas and receptions
  • Weddings as a bride or guest of honor
  • Evening events and opera visits
  • Important business anniversaries or award ceremonies

Which dress suits a choker?

  • Strapless dress: The choker becomes the star – perfect combination.
  • Backless dress: Choker in front, bare back behind – dramatic.
  • High-neck dress: No choker – too much jewelry around the neck.
