• Collier: the gold choker necklace, also called a “collar,” sits elegantly at the base of the neck and embellishes the neckline with diamonds or precious gems.
• Sautoir: is a very long necklace that reaches to the waist and is therefore worn by knotting it or making several turns around the neck. It is a classy touch, originally introduced by the divas of the 1930s on Charleston dresses and made famous by Coco Chanel.
