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.

A choker is worn high on the neck. The item has an interesting history with numerous people using them to send coded messages. For example in revolutionary France red ones were often worn in order to show sympathy to people who had been unfairly executed. Throughout history they have been associated with social groups who wanted to identify themselves.

For example some people wear theirs with a turtleneck sweater. Alone the sweater may look a little bit too conservative. The addition of the rhinestone can add a bit more glitter and shine in order to attract the eye and provide a bit more variety to your look to compliment the sweater.

When choosing jewellery it is important to consider what you are wearing. Another aspect is whether it goes with your complexion or hair. For example if you have larger hair it is often better to go with a thinner item of jewellery as it is a bit more subtle than having chunkier items.

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.
