Stylish And Beautiful Rhinestone Chokers

By Angel Dudley


Choker necklaces have a well known and long history in the United States, dating to a time before pioneers arrived to settle the country. Bone chokers were worn by Native American Indians for physical protection of the neck and vocal chords. They were made of bone, turquoise, coral, mother of pearl, and other natural stones. They were also worn by women on silver chains, with colored charms. Though the love of Native American Jewelry is still stylish in modern culture, but rhinestone chokers, with Gothic looks are now more common.

The Edwardian and Victorian eras were responsible for the popularity of this necklace, with ribbons worn around the neck with a broach, or medallion at the center. There were also stylish beads intermixed with rhinestones into a Gothic look, still popular today. The necklace has gone in and out of style at times over the years but always reappearing. The 1960s and 1970s brought a resurgence of this style with the trendy short shirts, and skintight pants.

This look, that typified fashion of the 1920s, and resurfaced in the 1970s, is today a mix of elegance and Gothic style. As time as moved forward, and jewelry making has advanced, almost any style, any sparkling stone is now available.
