Royal Choker


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Because Queen Alexandra of Great Britain had a small scar on her neck, she hid it by wearing choker necklaces and high collars.
 
Alexandra was indeed known for her chokers who hide her scar. But her daughter in law Mary, who shared her love for jewels, also favored chokers.

The chain link bracelets the queen wears (queen mum and Kate have too) were worn as a choker by Mary

The art deco emerald choker that Diana was famous for wearing, was first worn by Mary. It was made from Cambridge emeralds.

Pearl chokers are quite popular in the BRF.

The Queen commissioned the four row Japanese pearl choker. It was used by Diana and Kate has worn it as well.

Some serious bling. I don't know any royal woman who could pull it off now a days. They need a long neck and a lot of presence. Camilla is the British royal who can wow the big gun jewels, but this wouldn't suit her. Kate would be over whelmed by it, more delicate pieces suit her.

Oh Countessmeout! You’ve got me drooling over here. This is some gorgeous bling you’ve wowed me with. I always look forward to seeing Camilla with the big jewels. Someday, I hope my favorite comes out of hiding for some lucky gal to wear. Thank you, I’m going back for another look.
