Extensive Definition
A choker is a tight-fitting necklace, worn high on the
neck. This type of jewelry can consist of one or
more bands circling the neck. Chokers can be made of a variety of
materials, including velvet, beads, metal and leather. They may or may not be
adorned with sequins,
studs or some kind of
pendant and come in a
variety of colours. They
are popular with girls and teens.
Some forms of choker are regarded as fetish
clothing: see collar
(BDSM).
