A new jewellery trend has emerged of late, with men embracing the choker necklace, challenging traditional norms.<\/p>\n

Chokers have been a staple in women\u2019s jewellery boxes for decades, but over the past few seasons something has shifted. Men are wearing them too \u2013 and boy, are they wearing them well.<\/p>\n

Heated Rivalry star Connor Storrie<\/a> is a fan and wore a diamond-encrusted version at the Actor Awards (formerly the SAG Awards) back in March. Storrie\u2019s platinum choker was from Tiffany & Co.\u2019s Victoria range \u2013 known for its floral motif built from four gemstones set point to point \u2013 and featured clusters of marquise and round brilliant white diamonds. At this year\u2019s Vanity Fair Oscar Party, he returned to the look with a Tiffany HardWear graduated link necklace in white gold with pav\u00e9 diamonds, coordinated with Elsa Peretti\u2019s Bean earrings and fistfuls of chunky rings.\"TiffanyTiffany Titan by Pharrell Williams collection.

Meanwhile, at the 2026 Grammys, long-time jewellery connoisseur Pharrell Williams gave the trend his stamp of approval, layering two diamond necklaces \u2013 one a rivi\u00e8re choker by New York jeweller Jacob & Co. \u2013 with diamond studs and two gargantuan diamond cocktail rings.<\/p>\n

His own Tiffany Titan collection \u2013 a line of jewels the Louis Vuitton menswear designer created for Tiffany & Co., drawing on imagery of Poseidon and his trident \u2013 includes choker designs in yellow gold, rose gold and blackened titanium, some accented with freshwater or Tahitian pearls and pav\u00e9 diamonds.<\/p>\n

The choker has one of the more surprising histories of any piece of jewellery. Some of the earliest examples date to ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, where beaded and gold collars were worn for spiritual protection \u2013 the neck being one of the body\u2019s most vulnerable points.<\/p>\n

During the French Revolution, red ribbon chokers became a charged political symbol, worn in reference to those who had lost their heads to the guillotine. In the Victorian era, Alexandra of Denmark, Princess of Wales, who would later become queen consort of the United Kingdom, famously wore multi-strand pearl and diamond dog collar chokers to cover a scar on her neck, while black-velvet versions became part of mourning dress, worn by women of all classes following the death of Prince Albert in 1861. By the 1990s, the style was riding the wave of grunge and Y2K dressing, with the black-velvet choker becoming a defining accessory of the decade.<\/p>\n
