A Guide To Choosing Rhinestone Chokers

By Marci Glover


The term rhinestone refers to rock crystals. These rock crystals were extracted from the river Rhine and thus they were literally stones from the river Rhine. The stones shine and resemble diamonds and are used for a number of purposes, everything from costumes to car wheels. A great example of stylish jewellery you may want to purchase are rhinestone chokers.

Rhinestones are named after stones that were originally discovered in the river Rhine in Germany. They were extracted as it was mistakenly believed that these stones were diamonds due to the distinct shine that the stones created, making them stand out from the other stones in the river. However the person that discovered them was very entrepreneurial and sold jewellery made from the stones.

A choker is a necklace that is worn at a high point on the neck. One of its earliest examples was in revolutionary France. A red choker was worn by some women to show their solidarity to people who had been unfairly executed during revolutionary purges. They have also been associated with coded social and political messages.

As with any form of jewellery chokers different types can be worn with different clothes. It is about sensible coordination and making sure that what you are wearing matches together in a sensible way. This will allow you to show off your ensemble and can often accentuate the clothes and highlight the best bits while hiding the less flattering aspects due to the nature of how the stones reflect the light.

A choker is a necklace that is worn high on the neck. It can often be used as a way of complementing what people wear. For example if you wear a turtleneck sweater it can look a bit severe. Adding a choker can complement the sweater and the additional shine of the stones can add a bit of brightness.

For example if you have long blond hair having thick and chunky jewellery can often stand out for the wrong reasons! Therefore it is better to use a smaller band choker with a rhinestone as this smaller and slightly more demure than having something thicker in order to complement longer hair.

Using rhinestone can also be effective as an alternative to all metal. The combination of a silk chord or leather can be a better look as you get the firmness without being overly aggressive that an all metal item may convey. It may sound like an excessive interpretation but this is often how people subconsciously react to what people wear.

As with any kind of material the quality of rhinestones can vary. Even if you are purchasing online it is often worth going into a high street clothing store and comparing different items with the clothes that you want to wear. Careful shopping around will make it easier to find something that will work best for the look that you wish to achieve. Use your regular search engine for more information as well as customer feedback and reviews to find the best companies and items.
