The most shocking and contradictory decoration of all times and peoples is again in trend. Which, in general, is not surprising: well, the accessory, which began to be worn in pre -Christian times! We are talking about a chocker.

How it all began - a brief excursion into history

The whole story of Choker transformations is connected with:

• riot
• threat
• power
• slavery
• elegance
• nobility

It is a mistake to believe that the chockers are the legacy of the North American Indians. Women of the Padawung tribe and in our time wear such jewelry in the form of rings on the neck. The rings indicate the status of a woman in a tribe, serve as evidence of an unearthly beauty and well -being of a lady.

Wooden, tightly adjacent to the neck, rings dressed on the neck of girls from noble families in the countries of the Mediterranean and Asia back in the ancient world. In those times, a woman with a long neck was also considered a standard of beauty and, putting wooden rings on the neck of her daughters, parents hoped for the successful marriage of their beauties. The presence of wooden decoration on the neck has become evidence of a high position in society.

Some hundred years passed and rings on the neck became an attribute of slaves. In a dense Rome, the name of the owner was knocked out on the slave ring. However, after some time, senators canceled such collars-passports so that the forced residents of Rome would not see how many of them and how few owners.

The gloomy Middle Ages revived the chokers as a means of protection from thieves, robbers and vampires. Rich citizens drove into a leather strip designed to protect the neck, silver nails, in order to avoid unpleasant meetings with bloodsuckers and not only. It is possible that the choker then looked like this

The elegant renaissance changed the appointment of Choker. Now it was an elegant decoration in the form of a velvet (velvet tape) with a pendant, emphasizing the languid pallor of fragile ladies.

And yes, yes, yes! Indian leaders were worn by chockers from wooden beads, claws of animals and beaks of birds to protect against evil spirits. In addition, such jewelry could save a life in battle, protecting his neck from a knife or arrows.

It was in Indian reservations that “children of flowers” \u200b\u200bspied on all kinds of baubles-braces and chockers. The hippies of the 60s were especially fashionable tattoo-shkers-jewelry imitating orphaned tattoos.

Then there were the 90s: the wind of change, informal youth movements and a new surge of love for tattoo chokers.

In the "zero" everything returned: chockers are in trend!
