Vertebrae Choker

If you’re looking for a super sexy, strong choker that won’t tarnish or turn your skin colors, look no further! Made in the chainmaille weave known as Vertebrae in either stainless steel or hypoallergenic titanium, this choker will not tarnish or make your skin green. It features a larger segment at the center as a focal, with the sides being mirrored. It looks amazing alone or paired with a longer necklace for a fun layered look.

Please be aware, the photos here show the piece made in stainless steel. Titanium is a darker grayish silver so it will look a little different. Titanium chain and rings can also be colored upon request, just include a note at checkout, otherwise they will be natural silver.

Specifications

• Weave: Vertebrae
• Material: Stainless Steel or Titanium
• Necklace Width: Just over 0.5″

Crafting Process

• First, the rings are tumble polished to clean & shine them up, as well as to remove any sharp edges or burrs they may have.
• Then, each ring is opened, woven, and closed a single ring at a time to create each intricate pattern.
• The titanium is colored using electricity. I create a solution made up of baking soda and distilled water, then run an electrical current through it. I then use this to anodize the titanium which creates an oxide layer on the surface. Different voltages will create different colors. Due to the anodizing process, there may be slight color variation from batch to batch.

Deciding which length for the chain

Not sure which chain length to select? Have no fear! 16″-18″ are my most common sizes for women, and men tend to prefer 20″-24″. Need help picturing that? Check out my sizing page!

Care & Cleaning

Stainless steel is super easy to clean and very low maintenance! All you need is a little soap and water. I normally suggest using blue dawn dish soap and warm water. Because of the anodized titanium, it is strongly recommended to not shower or swim in this necklace to help the color stay vibrant longer. Since it is colored by creating an oxide layer without the use of dye, the colors could fade over time when exposed to harsh chemicals, such as chlorine.

I also offer Expedited shipping for an extra charge which ships via USPS Priority which has a transit time of 1-3 business days.
