Necklace is the crowning jewel of every bridal accessory look. Among the many necklace choices, spanning haars and pendants, chokers are perennial and a bridal favourite for good reason. Rooted in heritage yet endlessly reinvented, a choker frames the face and elevates the ensemble. From sunlit mehndi mornings to the gravitas of the wedding ceremony and the glamour of the reception, a choker transitions seamlessly across celebrations. Whether steeped in tradition or styled with a contemporary twist, it brings balance, drama, and polish.
The beauty of chokers lies in its versatility. It is striking worn solo, impactful when layered and adaptable across aesthetics. You can pick a modern minimal choker or richly traditional. From lehengas and saris to corsets and gowns, chokers work across silhouettes and styling moods. Universally flattering, they complement plunging necklines as effortlessly as high-neck blouses. Available in a spectrum of styles, colours, and gemstones, from diamonds and polkis to pearls and emeralds, they offer brides the freedom to personalise, restyle and rewear with confidence long after the wedding day.
