Choker

Chokers are tight fitting necklaces worn high on the neck, usually consisting of one or more adjustable bands circling the neck, either laced-up in the back or closed with hooks or pressure buttons. Classic chokers as often used in the romantic movement of the gothic scene are often made from a single wide band and lots of lace, heavily ornate with pearls, gems and ribbons.

Other variations of chokers are inspired by their cousins from the fetish scene, like the Bondage Choker.
