Necklaces and Chokers

This collection brings together a wide and varied range of standalone necklaces and chokers, each one rooted in Native American and Indigenous artisan traditions and crafted from materials that carry their own history and meaning. Where the Necklace Sets category pairs pieces with earrings and bracelets, everything here is designed to stand on its own — a single, complete statement that speaks for itself around the neck.

The collection spans several distinct design families, offering something across a broad range of styles, materials, and price points. At the most accessible end, the Drum Beat choker series delivers bold color in a simple, clean format for as little as $7, available in black, red, turquoise, light blue, and white. Natural stone bead chokers in aventurine quartz, green quartzite, and rose marble bring the grounding energy of the earth directly into wearable form. Multi-strand bead chokers in lavender, pink, purple, teal, yellow, and red offer a softer layered look, while woven beaded collar chokers in black-and-gold, light-blue-and-gold, and red-and-gold carry the structured elegance of traditional collar beadwork. The bone and natural material chokers make up the richest and most complex segment of the collection — combining antler, bone, brass, silver, abalone, shell, horn, and pearl in drape, tassel, and throat styles that draw directly from Plains Indian adornment traditions. The Breast Plate Choker stands as the most commanding piece in the category, echoing the ceremonial breastplate designs worn by warriors and leaders across many Native nations. Rounding out the collection, standalone Huichol collar necklaces in Red Song and Blue Song bring the densely patterned yarn-and-bead artistry of the Wixáritari people, while the Rainbow multi-strand necklaces offer flowing, layered bead work in cobalt, silver, turquoise, white, and yellow.
