Victorian mourning atmosphere with a grim edge: that is the mood this piece of jewelry evokes. The black choker is a lace necklace with an oval cameo depicting a skull with curly hair swept up, made for women. Wear it at Halloween, a gothic party, or a vampire evening.
Features of the black choker
- The necklace measures 34 x 0.5 x 16 cm and lies spread wide across the collarbone.
- The lace is black, with a white and grey cameo as the centerpiece.
- Polyester and PVC are used as materials.
- Below the cameo and on the sides hang three silver-colored, faceted teardrops that move with you.
- The openwork floral and curly motif lets the skin show through partially.
Why is there a skull on a cameo?
A cameo is originally a portrait medallion that was worn as jewelry in the nineteenth century, usually featuring an elegant female profile. In the gothic and steampunk style, that profile has been replaced by a skull, giving the classic piece of jewelry a double meaning: neat elegance and a reference to impermanence. You can see exactly that combination here, as the fine lace contrasts with the macabre portrait. This makes this piece stand out among chokers with only a smooth band or loose studs.
Black choker in a complete outfit
The necklace comes into its own best over an outfit with a low or wide neckline, so that the lace remains fully visible. Combine it with a black dress or corset, lace gloves, and pale makeup with dark eyes for a vampire or gothic look. If you are wearing a Victorian or steampunk costume, the cameo matches the style perfectly. Keep the rest of your jewelry simple, because the teardrops already move around enough.
