Add a romantic gothic touch to your look with this black floral lace choker. The band is a soft floral lace, sheer enough to let skin show through the pattern. At the front sits a glossy black oval centerpiece framed in an ornate silver-tone setting, with a smoky faceted teardrop pendant hanging just below it. Along the lower edge, a row of faceted black bead drops swings freely, so the whole choker catches the light every time you move.

The delicate lace and reflective details create a striking contrast, whether styled with a simple black top or a dramatic evening outfit.

Symbolism
When Queen Victoria went into mourning in 1861, fashionable Britain followed her into black, and the one jewel dark enough to wear with it was Whitby jet, fossilized wood dug from the Yorkshire cliffs. There was never enough of it, so the jewelers of Paris began cutting black glass to the same mirror shine and sold it as "French jet". A whole generation wore grief that sparkled. Faceted black drops on black lace is that look exactly: mourning, made to catch the light.

Style Ideas
Made for Victorian, dark romantic, vampire and gothic styles. It sits high and close on the neck, so it shines above a scoop or square neckline - with a simple black top for everyday gothic style, or a dramatic evening dress for special occasions, concerts and photoshoots.

Gift Idea
For the goth girlfriend, the Victorian romantic, or anyone who dresses in black on purpose - a birthday, an anniversary or a Halloween gift that feels like an heirloom. Arrives in a jewelry box inside a padded envelope, ready to give.
