Unique and exquisite antique French sterling silver choker necklace!

The style was originally popular between 1750 and 1820 but found a revival around 1872 which this choker originates. They are always hollow and decorated with diamond-like faceting. This choker has a hook in front to add a cross or any pendant that you prefer. We have it pictured with a watch fob to show its versatility. It can also be worn without.
