Necklaces look really awesome whether worn at parties or at work. There are many types in which necklaces can be categorized. Among those many types of necklaces, there is one popular kind, which is becoming a hot fashion trend among celebrities and fashion-loving women these days. These are the Collar Necklaces.

Choker or Collar Necklaces have shown their grace everywhere from Red Carpet to boutique store windows. There is something so retro and dramatic about them, that every woman wants to have at least one piece of such type.

Collar necklaces are giving a modern spin to fashionable necklaces. An elegant collar necklace can glorify every mood and occasion. Ranging in variety of shapes, styles and sizes, so as to complement any outfit, some of these necklaces come with matching earrings too. With their help, a trendy and elegant touch can be added to any ensemble. Collar necklaces consist of either single or multiple strands of pearls, beads or diamonds.

A pearl is a glorious stone with high-minded fantasies that symbolizes prestige. Pearl collar necklaces give a pride feel and classy look to wearer just like a princess. These necklaces are generally measured in 12 to 13 inches and are extensively made from rice pearls, small pearls, or big pearls. These stylish and fascinating necklaces are worn to fit comfortably at middle of your neck. They give a delightful look and are best suited with formals as well as semi formals. Pearl collar necklaces truly accentuate slender feminine neck and add charm to personality.

While purchasing a collar necklace you should consider some matrices about your face shape, age and style. Your selection will depend on type of neck you have and its thickness, since these necklaces are meant to highlight the neck. Its any type will look fantastic on longer necks, as there’s no fear of making it look shorter and wider.

On contrary, if your neck is shorter and is slightly heavy, do not go for larger pieces. Try a narrow piece with single row gemstone beads or pearls. A pendant in middle of necklace adds an illusion of length to neck, making it look nice and little bit long.

Bold collar necklaces are best suited for adult women. For young women medium-sized necklaces will go best.

Elephant painting, ‘Raw Art’ (Indonesia) $269.95 Indonesian elephant Bores paints with dynamic energy as he aligns blue and green brushstrokes of color. Dotted with orange, the composition reveals a raw and powerful sense of artistry. Asian elephants are an endangered species. By making the Asian elephants’ paintings widely accessible to the general public, Novica hopes to help increase awareness, encourage conservation and raise significant funds to assist endangered elephants throughout Asia. For more information, please refer to the elephant’s biography. Please note: The elephants hold the paintbrush carefully, by the tip of their trunk � which is also the elephants’ delicate nose area. Slight smudging, and an occasional water droplet here and there are to be expected on most elephant paintings. We like to consider that these imperfections add to the conversation value of each piece.

Elephant painting, ‘Zest for Art’ (Thailand) $324.95 This painting by Thai elephant Poomphaung exudes her good-natured zest. She prefers to paint in the afternoons, and her unique style translates into vertical brushstrokes with a rhythmic cadence, resulting in a composition of melodious artistry.

Slight smudging, and an occasional water droplet, here and there, are to be expected on most elephant paintings. We like to consider that these imperfections add to the conversation value of each piece.

Mirror, ‘Art Nouveau’ (Peru) $462.95 Veronica Ossio’s inspiration is a turbulent sea as she interprets the images in the art nouveau style. Working with natural onyx, she surrounds a wall mirror with restless waves. The piece is a superb work of art and design.

Cotton wall hanging, ‘Nature Art’ (Thailand) $93.99 Delicate as new growth on cool mountainsides, plants take root and flourish in fine hand-embroidery. Aphi Mina transforms nature into art in this handcrafted wall hanging. Appliqu panels reveal her vivid imagination and consummate skill as she blends stylized motifs with Akha design. Complemented by Burmese nickel coins and horsehair tassels, the textile is displayed on a bamboo rod. Aphi Mina crafts these textiles like a painter would, each piece representing something that occurs around her at the time. So no two pieces are alike [although they are in essence similar to the picture]. If she wakes up in the morning, after having dreamed of pink elephants, she might just decide to incorporate part (either with a new motif or new color) of this dream in the piece. Because of her age and her unique situation as a keeper of traditional arts, Novica allows for greater variance in her works than with other artists.

‘Art Circus’ (2011) (Mexico) $824.95 In a reference to John Lennon at The Cavern in Liverpool, artist Leo Padilla leans against the wall and gazes toward an unseen passerby. Carvings on the door identify the building as the University of Guadalajara School of Fine Art, the artist’s alma mater. Dating from the 16th century, the former Cloister of Santa Maria de Gracia is an oasis of art and culture. Padilla calls his school the “Circus Tent of Art.”

Batik art, ‘Friends’ (Thailand) $102.95 Friends share an afternoon snack and a leisurely conversation. All is beauty and tranquility in this portrait of Northern Thailand. Alaya Cholprasertsuk creates the lovely image in batik, and presents her original wall art in a frame of rain tree wood.

‘Art and Life’ (Brazil) $237.95 Macaws and a toucan perch between masks that express joy and sorrow. In the distance, Earth is symbolized by three convalescent planets asking for our help. “Humans need to reflect on their attitudes and actions because if we don’t, our planet’s life is in peril,” warns Cosme de Souza through his art. Titled “Arte e vida” in Portuguese.

Batik art, ‘A Walk in the Garden’ (Thailand) $92.99 Dressed in the style of Northern Thailand, a young woman strolls through a sunny garden. Alaya Cholprasertsuk depicts the girl in batik, and presents her original wall art in a frame of rain tree wood.

Art glass centerpiece, ‘Carnival’ (Mexico) $112.95 Confetti and streamers in vivid colors conjure the excitement of Carnival. Fernando Ram�rez creates the bright motifs in an art glass centerpiece. Fusing hand painted pigments between crystalline panes, he creates designs that are absolutely unique, as no two pieces are ever identical.

Steel wall art, ‘Bonsai’ (Mexico) $116.99 Alejandro de Esesarte depicts a bonsai tree in exquisite detail. Transforming steel into art, he cuts out the image and hammers it into low relief. The details are meticulously painted by hand. Because each piece is individually handcrafted and painted, size and color could vary slightly.

Cave art necklace, ‘Escape’ (Brazil) $29.95 Aline Luz creates this unique necklace for her “Hunt” collection featuring animals escaping from their human predators. Fascinated by the emotive content of early art forms, Luz replicates the scene on a ceramic pendant that hangs from a cotton thread, while bamboo beads add a distinctive accent.

Batik art, ‘Quiet Moment’ (Thailand) $92.99 White blossoms fill the air as a young woman enjoys a quiet moment in the garden. Exalting the lifestyle of Northern Thailand, Alaya Cholprasertsuk creates the lovely image in batik. She presents her original wall art in a frame of rain tree wood.

Sculpture, ‘Pop Art Love’ (Peru) $79.95 “This heart-filled car travels the world with a message of love, its driver filled with inner peace,” exclaims Peruvian artist Luitpol. Merging Pop Art with recycling practices, he sculpts the piece with wood, paper, and aluminum for the driver and wheels.

‘Technology and Art II’ (Brazil) $217.95 For Brazilian artist Vera Lemos, surprising objects take on a brilliant beauty. She creates a still life from tubes, rectangles and plates, focusing on their shapes instead of their use. A masterful use of perspective, form and color transforms them into a harmonious whole. Titled “Tecnologia e arte II” in Portuguese.

Batik art, ‘Daydreams’ (Thailand) $69.99 Sitting in a meadow of lush green, tall grass, a young girl daydreams as she rests her head over her knee. Alaya Cholprasertsuk paints her portrait with expressive artistry as she masters batik on cotton. She frames her work with noble rain tree wood.

Batik art, ‘Reflections’ (Ghana) $142.95 Samuel Ashong captures the magical beauty of a sunset as it ignites the skies over the ocean’s waters. “The sunset has its own colors to brighten the evenings. One of the effects that has most attracted me over the years is the reflection of the setting sun on the rivers and the seas,” he says. Ashong presents this exquisite batik composition in a mat board passe-partout, ready for framing.

Batik art, ‘On Parade’ (Ghana) $149.95 Walking with poised elegance, five women compete in a local beauty pageant. All are dressed in the same graceful tunic, as their laws and customs do not permit revealing garments. Samuel Ashong exalts the essence of their beauty as he works in batik. He presents the work in a mat board passe-partout, ready for framing.

Batik art, ‘Eclipse’ (Ghana) $142.95 A shadow covers the moon, revealing only a fragment of its silvery light. Depicting an eclipse, Samuel Ashong works in batik. “A lunar eclipse is universal and I want other people to see it in different forms,” the Ghanaian artist explains. He presents the work in a mat board passe-partout, ready for framing.

Batik art, ‘The Inspection’ (Ghana) $179.99 As the day draws to an end, fishermen inspect their boats and nets to ensure they are in working condition for the following day. “But they won’t go out to sea on Tuesdays,” says Ghanaian artist Samuel Ashong. It is a long-held belief by the fishing community that Tuesday is a day of rest, both for humans and for the sea. Should anyone be caught fishing on a Tuesday, they will be heavily fined and special rituals will have to be performed in order to pacify the sea. Ashong masters batik techniques to create this admirable composition. Arrives with a manila card paper mat board.
