Kundan choker set with earrings: how to tell a choker from a long set

A kundan choker set is the short necklace that closes near the hollow of the throat, sold with earrings and often a maang tikka. It is the set people want with a deep or wide blouse. It is the wrong set for a high bandh-gala or a blouse that already covers the collarbone — there the earring has to do the work and the neck stays empty.

Product titles online mix “choker” and “necklace set” freely. Use the photo. If the stones form a collar and the drop is short, it wears as a choker. If you can see several strands or a pendant sitting on the chest, it is a longer set, even when a shop has filed it under chokers.

Questions

Does a choker set include earrings?

On Cunei, the necklace sets include matching earrings. Check the product photo for a maang tikka before you assume the third piece is in the box.

Can I wear a choker with a saree?

Yes, with a blouse that leaves the base of the neck clear. A high-neck blouse wants earrings, not a choker.

What should I spend?

These sets are ₹2,350–₹3,700. That is fashion jewellery, plated metal and artificial stones.
