A choker is a close-fitting necklace worn around the neck. They can be adorned in a variety of ways, including with sequins, studs, or a pendant. They have been around for thousands of years, first gracing the world's earliest civilizations. Often made with gold or lapis, the necklaces were thought to be protective and instilled with special powers. Historically, they were associated with high fashion. However, in the late 19th century, a plain, thin red, or black ribbon choker had ties to prostitution. In Native American culture, chokers functioned as a form of protection for tribal warriors, guarding the jugular and deflecting arrows from the neck in battle. Also, it was thought to protect the voice and provide great speaking abilities to the wearer. The bone-choker would guide the warrior to speak the truth directly from the heart.
White is the lightest color. It can represent a successful beginning. The color of snow, white is often used to represent coolness and simplicity, the color of perfection and purity.
One of the first type of beads that were made was bone beads. These beads are made from actual bones, which are shaped and threaded to use in decorating. Most modern bone beads are a byproduct of the food industry. Bone beads are often soaked in tea, coffee or ink to change the color.
Black is the darkest color, the result of the absence or complete absorption of visible light. It was one of the first colors used in art. The color black represents strength, seriousness, power, and authority. Black is a formal, elegant, and prestigious color.
Beads are known to be one of the earliest forms of trade between the human race. It is thought that is because of bead trading that humans developed language. Beads are said to have been used and traded for most of our history. The oldest beads found to date were at Ksar Akil in Lebanon. Prior to this find, the beads found in the Blombos Cave were the oldest, at about 72,000 years old. Round is the most common shape of beads. The shape of the round beads lay together and is pleasing to the eye. Round beads can be made of glass, stone, ceramic, metal or wood.
