Chokers

The necklace is one of those jewels mainly used to carry or wear a symbol, whether pendant or not, regardless of the jewellery.
The term necklace identifies a very specific element of jewellery, which has evolved over time, taking on more and more refined forms, starting from rough jewels strong> until ending up with the most refined of jewels.
Already known in the culture of the ancient Egyptians, the necklaces, composed of various materials, were worn by men and women who wanted to bring and show others the symbol of their creed and their social class, they were finished with hard stones, ivory, horns or bone to then be technically worked or embellished with watermarks and enamels.
In every culture there is its own well-defined type of necklace, regardless of whether it is Etruscan, Greek, Turkish, Byzantine, Celtic or in almost modern times in the Victorian style.
