chokers
Close-fitting neck jewelry
Chokers is the plural of choker, a close-fitting necklace or band worn snugly around the neck.
The style has cycled in and out of fashion, from Victorian ribbon chokers to 1990s black velvet bands to modern statement pieces: She collected vintage chokers.
In other contexts, a choker is someone who fails under pressure—who chokes when it matters: He's a choker in big games.
