Twisted Chain Choker Necklace | 100500717690890

How to Measure

1. Measure your neck: Wrap a soft measuring tape around the base of your neck where the choker will sit. If you don’t have a tape, use a string and measure it against a ruler.
2. Choose your fit:
   • Snug choker fit: add 0.5–1 in (1–2.5 cm) to your neck measurement.
   • Relaxed choker fit: add 1–2 in (2.5–5 cm).
   • Layering room: add 2–3 in (5–7.5 cm) if you’ll stack with other necklaces.
3. Know what the length includes: Necklace length is measured end-to-end including the clasp and rings. Extenders add extra adjustable length (commonly 1–2 in).
4. Select chain width: Twisted chains look delicate at 2–3 mm, classic at 3–4 mm, and bold from 4–5 mm.
5. Quick reference (neck size → choker size):
   • 12 in neck → 13–14 in choker
   • 13 in neck → 14–15 in choker
   • 14 in neck → 15–16 in choker
   • 15 in neck → 16–17 in choker
   • 16 in neck → 17–18 in choker

Tip: If between sizes, choose the larger size and use an extender for a perfect fit. A choker typically sits high on the collarbone or at the base of the neck.

Materials & Finishes

This twisted chain choker features interlacing links that create a rope-like texture with a high-polish sheen. Exact composition may vary by variant. Refer to the product variant name or label for the precise material. Common options for this style include:

• 18k Gold Vermeil: A thick layer of 18k gold (typically 2.5 microns) over 925 sterling silver. Rich gold tone with better longevity than standard plating.
• 14k Gold Plated: 14k gold plating over brass or stainless steel. Budget-friendly gold look. Avoid chemicals and abrasion to preserve the finish.
• 925 Sterling Silver: Solid sterling silver. May naturally oxidize; easily brightened with a silver polishing cloth. Sometimes finished with rhodium for added shine and tarnish resistance.
• Stainless Steel: Highly durable and water-resistant with excellent color retention. Great for everyday wear and often suitable for sensitive skin.

Closure: typically a lobster or spring ring clasp with optional 1–2 in extender. Chain widths commonly range from 2–5 mm. If you have metal sensitivities, consider sterling silver, gold vermeil over sterling silver, or stainless steel.

Model Information

For scale reference: the choker is shown styled at approximately 14 in on a neck measuring about 13–13.5 in, with a chain width around 3 mm, sitting close to the base of the neck. If you prefer a looser look, choose 1 in longer than the model’s wearing length.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: Put your necklace on after fragrance, lotions, hairspray, and SPF. Remove before showering, swimming, and sweaty workouts.
• Avoid chemicals and abrasion: Keep away from perfume, chlorine, household cleaners, and rough surfaces.
• Daily wipe-down: After wear, gently wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils and perspiration.
• Storage: Close the clasp, lay flat or coil loosely, and store individually in a pouch or jewelry box. Add an anti-tarnish strip for sterling silver.
• Gold vermeil / gold plated: Do not use dips or abrasive polishes. Clean only with a soft cloth dampened with water; dry thoroughly.
• Sterling silver: Use a silver polishing cloth as needed. If heavily tarnished, use a silver-specific cleaner following instructions, then rinse and dry well.
• Stainless steel: Wash gently with mild soap and water; dry completely to maintain shine.
• Twisted chain care: Avoid tugging; if a kink occurs, lay the chain flat and gently roll it between fingers to realign the links.
• Travel tip: Pack in a small zip bag with the clasp closed to prevent tangling.

Style Tips

• Wear solo for a minimal, polished look that highlights the twist texture.
• Layer smart: Pair with 16–18–20 in chains in contrasting textures (paperclip, herringbone, or a fine pendant) for depth.
• Mix metals confidently: Twisted links play well with both gold and silver pieces for a curated, modern stack.
• Necklines: Complements open collars, crew necks, off-shoulder and strapless silhouettes.
• Statement width: Choose 4–5 mm for a bolder, trend-forward choker; 2–3 mm suits everyday wear.
• Pendant pairing: Works best with small, light pendants; ensure the bail opening is wider than the chain thickness.
• Day-to-night: Add hoops or pavé studs for evening. For daytime, style with simple studs and a 16–18 in companion chain.
• Convertible trick: A 14–16 in chain can double-wrap as a bracelet on most wrists for a coordinated look.
