10 - Choker Necklaces

One of the must have jewelry items that will complete your wardrobe is a Choker Necklace. It is truly not important how expensive the piece as long as it is close to the neck accentuating the shoulder lines. A choker necklace must be worn with a open neck shirt and it often looks great with strapless, v-neck, or deep round neck shirts or dresses and are a must have piece for 2012. Keep in mind that you chokers are necklaces that must be worn close or on the neck. For ladies with a long neck you can pick a piece that is a little bolder an upper on the neck, while ladies with a shorter neck you can pick pieces that are a little daintier and that sits below your neck but above your collar bone in order to elongate your neckline.
