Symbolism
Medieval jewelers called a glowing red stone a carbuncle, from the Latin carbunculus - a little coal. The old stone books swore it gave off its own light in the dark, and one legend says a shining stone was all that lit Noah's ark through the flood. The red at the center of this choker carries that old idea: a small coal held at the throat, still burning after the candles go out.

Style Ideas
Pair it with a simple neckline to let the red crystals and flowing chains stand out - a square neckline or bare shoulders give the chains room to fall. Over a black slip dress for a vampire bride evening, with a high-collar blouse left open at the throat for Victorian dark academia, or with a corset and a long black coat for a night out.

To care for your choker, keep it dry and avoid perfume or lotions directly on the piece. Store flat to help prevent tangling.

Gift Idea
For the dark romantic, the girlfriend who dresses for every evening like it is a masquerade, or anyone whose wardrobe is mostly black - a birthday, an anniversary, Halloween, or Valentine's Day gift with real drama. Arrives in a jewelry box inside a padded envelope, ready to give.
