Choker Necklaces

A choker sits between 14 and 16 inches, at the base of the neck rather than on the chest. Anything from 17 inches down hangs below the collarbone and reads as a standard necklace. Most of Seema's chokers are adjustable across a range, one of them by almost four inches, so the same piece can be worn snug or loose.

Almost certainly, because these are built to adjust rather than fixed at one length. Measure around the base of your neck with a soft tape, then add half an inch to an inch for comfort, and check that number against the adjustable range on the piece. The team will confirm the fit before anything is made.

Yes, and it is the cleanest way to layer. The choker becomes the top line, then an 18 inch pendant or station necklace sits clearly below it with no tangling. Let the choker be the loudest of the two. If the choker is a full diamond line, keep the piece under it plain gold.

A tennis choker is one continuous line of stones, each in its own head. A flexible choker uses a wider, articulated band of many small diamonds, so it lies flat and moves like fabric against the skin. The flexible pieces here carry 3.56 and 5.28 carats and feel more substantial on the neck.
