choker or short necklace?

Are they the same? British or American English? Or there is no difference at all?

Just curiosity

Thanks

Choker would be something just around your neck, Necklace is rather something that is hanging / dangling from your neck especially with a pendant. Checking the offers on American and British ebay - no difference

Here is an example if a choker. Best, joanna

My mom wore a necklace with 3 strings of beads and called it a choker necklace,although it hung down.

Thanks a million, Joanna! My doubt is now solved! When a pendant lies right in the hollow of your throat then what you have around your neck is a short necklace rather than a choker! Thanks again and happy Christmas! Ana

Necklace is the category, and choker is a type of necklace within the category, as is pendant. A choker is always short and close to the neck.
