A choker length necklace usually ends just above or on the collar bone. Consequently, a choker necklace has an effect similar to that of a high neckline. It shortens the neck and gives the face a more round shape! As a matter of fact the choker has traditionally been seen as the ideal necklace length for all woman with an oblong face and a long neck. Of course style rules are there to be broken! As Miley Cyrus showed at the 2013 Bambi awards chokers can look fabulous in woman with more round faces and shorter necks. Those woman are the ones to wear the super trendy oversized styles, which tend to overpower oblong faces and thin necks.
