The Sterling Silver Choker

Worn close to the neck, the choker is a classic fashion accessory. Favored by brides, it is also a popular complement to prom gowns and strapless dresses. Common materials include velvet, beads and even leather. But the sterling silver choker's radiant patina takes it everywhere.

Alone, or set with gemstones, silver choker necklaces may be minimalist in style or opulent collarette and waterfall designs. Peru's Regina Flores Montes crafts wrap chokers set with chrysocolla that interpret themes from nature. Thailand's Lilly Rahmann focuses on natural gemstones in sumptuous silver chokers. From Bali, Agung Pribadi uses his jewelry to send cogent messages of peace.

Novica features sterling silver chokers from talented artisans and jewelers around the world, many of which are carefully crafted with lapis, amethyst, turquoise and other precious stones. We hope you enjoy!
