how long is a choker necklace? 

The word “choker” may bring to mind those 1990s-era necklaces that hug the throat. Today’s definition, though, is any necklace with a length between 14 and 16 inches — or, more simply, a shorter-length necklace. 

choker necklaces for women 

When it comes to selecting shorter choker necklaces, you have a wide variety of options at all price points. 

  • Select a trendy rose gold bar necklace, perfect for stacking with other chains for a layered approach. 
  • Add an elegant box-chain sterling silver choker necklace to your everyday wardrobe. 
  • A 16-inch lab created moissanite tennis necklace adds light-catching sparkle to any neckline. 
  • Need jewelry for casual occasions or vacations? Go with a beaded choker paired with longer strands of colorful beads for an eclectic look. 
  • Surprise your teen or tween with a pendant choker they can wear to school or at home. 
  • A sterling silver chain with perfectly spaced small solitaire diamonds works well as an everyday necklace, whether you’re running errands, studying for exams or going into the office. 
  • Clusters of diamonds along a white gold choker necklace make an elegant accompaniment for dressy occasions. 
  • For an auction, gala, or fundraiser, add a drape of emeralds or sapphires along your decolletage for an opulent vignette that helps frame your face. 

how to wear a choker necklace 

With its shorter length, chokers add a touch of sophistication and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Here are a few ways to master the art of this necklace: 

  • Consider your neckline. The space between the choker and your chest creates a sense of visual elongation, flattering your silhouette. Chokers typically work best with outfits that have lower necklines. Strapless dresses, plunging necklines, V-necks, or sweetheart cuts allow the choker to sit comfortably and become the focal point. If you're wearing a high neckline, a longer necklace can help elongate your silhouette. 
  • Choose your features. Minimalist choker chains with small pendants exude timeless sophistication, while a statement piece with pearls or gemstones can add a touch of luxury. 
  • Experiment with layers. A delicate 14-inch choker can be paired with a longer pendant necklace for a modern, layered effect. Keep the rest of your outfit simple — a solid top or blouse — to allow the choker and layered necklaces to stand out.
