Dhokshi Choker With Studs, Adore By Priyanka
₹870
This beautiful rose-quartz choker is available in three other colours - Tangy Red, Labradorite and a very calming Jade green. And no one can really tell that it retails for such a low price! It's by a brand known as Adore By Priyanka which has over 3,300 reviews on its website out of which 97% recommend purchasing from the brand, pretty impressive. They have an amazing collection of jewellery - necklaces, earrings, bracelets and more. Plus, it comes with a pair of matching earrings which is always a good thing!
Resin Stone and Pearl Choker, Paya
₹1299
Studded Gold-Plated Choker Necklace, Oomph
₹275
A beautiful minimal piece that can definitely be worn for ethnic outfits but also western outfits if styled right. The best part however is the price, originally for INR 1311, this choker is available for only INR 275 right now. You have to be careful though and avoid contact with water and perfume as it can result in tarnishing.
Layered Gold & Pearl Chain Choker, Pipa Bella
₹896
Shop On
This chunky 3 layered choker necklace is perfect if you're looking to wear a statement piece. Especially great for open necklines and off-shoulder tops/dresses. Care instructions mention that you should store it in a ziplock back when not in use to avoid tarnishing. And since the gold cuban chunky choker was quite on a trend on Instagram here's an option for less than INR 400 you can check out.
Gold Mirror Drop Choker, Ogaan
₹1150
I think by now it's clear that we love minimal jewellery and rightly so, it's super easy to style and can be worn with multiple outfits and this one from Ogaan has an Indian touch with a drop mirror. It's made to order so if you want a specific size you can contact them on Whatsapp. For care, make sure you keep it away from water, perfume and other liquids.
White Gold Tone Handcrafted Choker, Jaypore
₹1500
Multiple small layers culminating to make something delicate and beautiful, we found this on Jaypore which takes up to 18 business days to dispatch so we would suggest you order well in advance if you're deciding to wear it in a function. There's a dori chain adjustment which makes it super easy to adjust so you're not constantly asking people to close your necklace!
Beaded Choker Necklace, Trink
₹396
The usual buy is a neutral necklace that'll match most outfits but if you're in the search for something extra and colourful get this red beaded necklace that comes with dangler earrings - both for under INR 400 bucks. What a steal!
Shrika Antique Silver Polish Choker, Teejh
₹909
We saw this choker and instantly felt this is something Komal Pandey would wear. If you're someone who likes to experiment with your jewellery or if the bohemian look appeals to you then this is definitely the pick for you. This choker also has a bunch of ghungroos. Wear it on a plain white shirt to totally give a different edge to your look or wear it on a saree, sky's the limit.
Ira Choker, Amama
₹1542
A teensy little over budget but we know this brand's products are going to be good because we've seen it on celebs like Alia Bhatt and Jacqueline Fernandez. This choker is vintage-inspired and handcrafted so takes about 10-12days to dispatch. It's made from 80% recycled brass and plated in a 24 kt gold finish. It's considered free size but measures 14" and is adjustable up to 3 Inches.
