Thanks for posting your views about the choker. I thought the same thing but was reticent to say so.
It just ISN'T a "style" thing that a little girl would normally wear.
Most parents would discourage it because of the link to bondage idea.

My gosh, I wonder if all those high class woman in the late 1800s and early 1900s were into bondage as that is when chokers were really big.

The choker angle is pretty petty! I agree on this point.

I have a fair amount of experience with family photos from that era, and women from respectable families did NOT wear jewelry, much less chokers. Respectable people were very pious and very humble in that era.

You're thinking of the women that Hollywood portrayed as dancers in wild west saloons [or European variations, like the Moulin Rouge]. In that era, those women were understood to be whores.

Sorry Danielle, my memory does not operate that far back.

I'm OLD but gimme a break!

I also didn't associate with "high class" women back then, (was just a young fella.)
