Fabric necklaces are an ideal accessory for any wardrobe. They highlight any outfit and accentuate your neck and facial features. They have a long history that can be traced to times before the Victorian era. You can choose from numerous different styles and most can be either purchased from sources worldwide or be handmade at home. The lengths and materials vary widely so choosing just the right look for you will not be a problem.
The shorter models are called collars and chokers. Collars sit high on the neck and generally have strands falling down the front of your throat. These emphasize the length of the neck and are best with strapless or deep V-neck. Chokers are also worn high on the neck but are single banded and sometimes have decorative stones or cameos in the middle front. The choker will also emphasize the length of your neck and the beauty of your bodice and shoulders.
The longer styles are made to be worn over the bodice and are worn in single or multiple strands. The longest is the opera necklace and it has become very popular lately. There are a number of ways to wear them. You can single strand it or double it over. It is often worn with others of its kind and knotted for a more sophisticated look.
These pieces are designed to be as intricate and beautiful as you desire to make them. It would not be out of line to check styles in jewelry stores and copy the designs for your necklace. There are classes and online tutorials that will guide you step by step with the building of your project. With patience and practice you will have a very distinctive piece to wear for many years to come.
You can crochet a rose choker from white cord or macrame twine. There is no limit to the materials you can use in your creation. Satin or velvet ribbons work very well for chokers. An opera strand can be made from covered or uncovered beading or a combination of both. Choose to use vintage or new items as you prefer.
