History of Choker Necklace

Choker necklaces actually made their way into our lives around the 2010s, but in reality, these chokers date back to 2500 BC. Did you know that? This type of jewelry is very ancient and was quite popular in Ancient Egypt, Sumer, and Minoan times. In fact, it was worn so frequently that you can even spot a choker necklace in a portrait of Anne Boleyn, which is from the 1500s. Around the 1860s, chokers were also quite fashionable during the Victorian era, although only people of royalty were allowed to wear them.

Let's go back to 1798, during the time of the French Revolution. This was already a politically charged and gloomy period. During this time, women used to wear chokers made of red beads. But why red? We all know that red is the color of both passion and, at the same time, hate. Women of this era wore red chokers to symbolize their anger and resentment. Therefore, it is quite common to see these red chokers throughout many moments of this period.

Let’s fast forward to the 1920s and 1940s, a period when choker necklaces underwent a transformation. During these decades, chokers made a strong comeback, but with a different twist. They were reintroduced as bold and distinctive designs, often referred to as "dog collars." This style gained popularity, and many women embraced it. Interestingly, it’s a design that still appears in fashion today, and you can find some women wearing it as a nod to vintage style or as a statement piece.
