Answer : CHOKER

choker, collar, dog collar, neckband – n
necklace that fits tightly around a woman’s neck

Chokers have gone as far back as ancient Egypt, and have adorned the necks of royal Pharaohs and queens of England alike. While some were hammered with gold or strung with diamonds and pearls, others took the form of simple red ribbons bought from the market.

They were used by British teens in the 1700s as a way to mock the French, and kept being on-trend all through the Victorian era up to the psychedelic ’70s where they showed up on men’s necks more often than women’s.

Chokers trickled into the 1920s, though they weren’t as hot of a commodity as they were just a few decades back. “You see some short necklaces worn with 1920s fashion. I would guess the short bobbed haircuts of the time allowed them to be very visible,” Karlin explains.

Chokers were revived again in the ’70s, but this time by men. Rock stars like Mick Jagger, David Bowie, and Jimi Hendrix weren’t strangers to gender bending, and they took the experiment into jewelry territory.

The ’90s saw a resurgence of chokers, but rather than wearing the intricate, diamond-dripping art deco versions that were so popular during the first half of the century, we took it in a different direction. In a grungey, angsty direction, to be exact.
