Choker Necklaces: Style Guide
Share
A choker necklace sits snugly at the base of the neck — typically 14 to 16 inches in circumference — and is one of the most glamorous and statement-making jewellery styles. In Indian jewellery, chokers are a bridal staple, worn at weddings, receptions and festive occasions for maximum impact.
