Contemporary Choker Necklaces
CONTEMPORARY STYLE
Contemporary jewelry is inextricably linked with the moment in which it is created, frequently reflecting current social, cultural and political issues such as environmental consciousness, identity and sustainability. It’s informed by fashion trends, from the chokers of the 1990s to the large chain necklaces of the early 2000s.
Jewelry is one of the oldest forms of adornment. Lockets made of silver or gold have been treasured gifts for hundreds of years, for example, and charm bracelets, which have existed since prehistoric times, didn’t become especially popular until the 19th-century reign of Queen Victoria. For many centuries, fine jewelry was used primarily to express wealth or status through lavish materials. Then, in the 1960s, a concept known as the “critique of preciousness” emerged, with jewelers creating pieces that did not get their value from gemstones or precious metals. Instead, it was the jeweler’s artistic vision that was prized and elevated.
This shift still informs Contemporary jewelry being made by artists today. Whether they are using cheap, found materials and working with provocative geometric shapes or seeking out the rarest stones, they are imbuing their work with meaning through their skills, techniques and ideas. Innovative designers such as Elsa Peretti, who popularized sculptural sterling-silver jewelry for Tiffany & Co., and David Yurman, who twisted metal into the simple yet striking Cable bracelet, have also influenced the direction of Contemporary jewelry’s forms and aesthetics.
Meanwhile, technological advancements like metal alloys and laser engraving have led to new possibilities in jewelry design. Now, edgy makers and brands as well as minimalist designers are pushing Contemporary jewelry forward into the 21st century.

0.44 Carat Salt and Pepper Diamond Large Baroque Pearl Strand Necklace
Located in New York, NY
Inspired by Jackie Kennedy Onassis, one of the greatest style icons of the last century embodying timeless classic style, this is not your average Pearl strand.
Cultured Freshwater Baroque Pearls are knotted in between each pearl, and embedded with bezel set Salt and Pepper Diamonds in the center, this Pearl strand necklace has an overall neutral palette suited for any occasion in an updated classic way. This necklace has a swivel closure which makes it easier to use the clasp on the back of the pearl strand and the pearls are tapered to a slightly smaller size towards the back of the necklace.
We love to wear these with the hair up or down as they are statement-worthy either way. Perfect for all brides, mothers and grandmothers!
