Chokers have been around for quite some time now and are a rage amongst youth. We all know that it is a comeback from the 90’s but did you know it carries a lot more history than this? Yes, to our surprise it signified so many things. One of its early significances came out in 1700’s where women wore it as a sign of royalty. In a deeper significance, however, women in France tied a red ribbon around their necks during the French Revolution to pay homage to the dead who fell victim to the guillotine. To make the neck-wear more fashionable, women would adorn their ribbons with jewelled baubles or cameo pins.
