Choker Necklace

How does Camile & Stone NZ’s choker collection feel modern rather than trend-only?

Avoiding trend-only chokers in the jewellery world can create a timeless look, and Camile & Stone NZ’s choker necklace collection embodies this through our intentional design philosophies. A modern approach to choker necklaces blends subtle design with statement elements, resulting in an effortlessly wearable piece. 

Modern jewellery blends dimensional aspects with timeless design, and our Molten Cuff Bangle Bracelet is one of the most popular accessories within our range that achieves this. Pairing a textured bangle like this with a gold choker necklace creates a contemporary look that can be blended into a variety of different fashionable ensembles. 

Which choker styles are most popular for everyday wear?

Several different layered choker necklace styles are popular for everyday wear, elevating subdued looks into contemporary outfits. Retaining a casual, yet timeless look, these pieces blend the best of vintage trends and modern looks into one simple, everyday piece. 

Pieces you reach for in a day-to-day look should be effortlessly wearable, and our huggie hoop earring collection is one of our most coveted for this reason. These pieces add luxury elements to casual looks and can be stacked or worn solo, depending on your aesthetic preferences. Stack a set alongside a vintage choker necklace for a modern result with retro undertones. 

How can chokers be styled subtly without overpowering an outfit?

A subtle approach to adding a choker to an outfit can prevent it from overpowering your look, and this can be achieved by pairing it with pieces that match this subdued aesthetic. From delicate, personalised choker options to matching custom accessories, each can be incorporated in a minimalistic, yet easily styled, way. 

One of our most coveted personalisation options for minimalist styling is our Sideways Initial Necklace. These customised pieces are among the most elevated in our range and can convey your narrative in a subdued, stylish way. Adding one into a stack alongside a custom choker necklace represents your story, helping to showcase who you are in your jewellery look. 

Why are chokers becoming versatile wardrobe staples again?

The popularity of choker necklaces in the 90s has risen once more as fashion trends look to the past. The adaptable styling of a choker makes it one of the most manageable transitional pieces to incorporate into a variety of looks. Developing a collection of wardrobe staples lets you experiment with your jewellery, creating stacks that align with your daily aesthetic. 

Our stacking ring collection is one of the most versatile wardrobe options, allowing you to completely change your stack daily. The mix-and-match design of this collection offers a playful opportunity to accessorise, pairing in unique ways with your choker necklace options. Create the jewellery edit that aligns with your versatile wardrobe, and integrate a selection of layered choker necklaces to determine your daily aesthetics. 

How do stylists layer chokers with longer necklaces for balance?

Pairing a selection of layered choker necklaces with longer options for balance is a beautiful way for stylists to add dimension and interest to their looks. Opting for a bolder chain, like our Classic Herringbone Chain necklace, adds visual interest to your stack, creating a look that’s both modern and minimalist. 

When layering necklaces, our stylists recommend leaving 2-3 centimetres of space between each so they sit without tangling. We also suggest layering in odd numbers, as this creates an effortless approach to your entire jewellery stack. Pairing your diamond choker necklace with longer chains adds balance, creating a laid-back aesthetic. 

What outfits pair best with minimalist choker designs?

The malleable minimalist choker necklace is versatile, fitting a range of outfits, allowing you to experiment with styles that suit your intrinsic tastes. For more expressive looks, pair your choker necklace with lace, low-cut jeans, and asymmetrical tops to draw attention to your accessories and outfits. 

When creating an understated ensemble, pairing a delicate pearl choker necklace with elevated basics results in a timeless look. The subdued outfit serves as a base for your jewellery, allowing you to create ensembles that utilise both accessories and clothing without overpowering either. 

Can chokers suit both casual and elevated looks?

Casual and elevated looks can both be boosted by a choker necklace, with the rest of your accessories creating the desired result. For more understated looks, pair your choker necklace with delicate pieces for a relaxed, effortless look. 

When styling for formal occasions, pairing a bolder diamond choker necklace with a piece like our Tennis Sapphire Bracelet helps to draw attention to your stack. The adjustable clasp on this piece allows a customised fit so that you can tailor it to your outfit perfectly. Pair it with a choker necklace for a standout look that complements every formal occasion on your calendar.
