neckpiece
Worn around throat
A neckpiece is an article worn around or near the neck—a scarf, collar, or piece of jewelry such as a choker or statement necklace.
The term often suggests something decorative or dramatic rather than purely functional: She wore an elaborate beaded neckpiece to the gala.
In armor, a neckpiece protects the throat and upper chest.
