    Found a beautiful frilly organza choker with a silver clasp enclosure in the back and it looks pretty but it's only about an inch and a quarter wide and I want up to 2 and a half inches! Trust me, these are gorgeous, especially with these strapless gowns and if you have the neck for it! Some site in the UK has one, over two inches wide, silk satin with stunning whiteish-crystal beading -- I mean amazing, but they haven't written me back, and I can't find anything like it on line here.  Any suggestions girls! It's really the right style of necklace for me, hands down.

    Here is a site that custom makes them for you.

    http://velvetchokers.com/organzachokerchoices.html

    and here is a site that has some organza chokers.

    http://www.handembroideryshop.co.uk/acatalog/Couture_Chokers.html

    they have a online cart so you don't need to contact them.

    Yes! Yes! TPHoliday... the first site you give is the one I got the organza ruffled choker from, so thanks.  It's pretty actually and fits great.  It's just not smashing and a little narrower (width between jawline and collarbone) than I'd like.

    The site from the UK (United Kingdom) Hand and Lock or something -- is the one that has two or three that I LOVE, but I can't figure out how to order from them.  What do I do? Any idea?

    I can't believe I can't do this! When I click on more -- oh btw -- I want the organza couture choker from hand Embroidery -- I just get a close-up pix of it.  how in the world do I fill my shopping basket and buy this thing?

    Also to my first poster on here -- so sorry, I don't know how to post a pix of the organza choker I already bought but if you click on 'holiday's' first link, you'll see them all!

     

    so help pls!  tx

    Is this the one you are talking about?

    Looking for wide, gorgeous bridal choker (no joke)! :  wedding Tricia

    Have you tried posting this on Etsy.com to see if someone can make it?

    There are few on there that make chokers in organza, they might be able to recreate this for you.

    When I clicked on more, it gave this number for a quote 0207 580 7488. Is this what you are seeing? Is that the number you tried or did you try the one in the upper corner?

    There are a lot of bees on here, you might want to see if someone in London can call for you?

    THAT'S the ONE TPHoliday!  I haven't really tried anything 'cause I don't understand how to order this one at all. I became so frustrated that I managed to order a 3" wide white lace choker late today for $16 that isn't bad.  I'll get you girls the address in a later post if anyone's interested.

    But I love this organza one with the beading! I'm afraid to tell y'all this -- but I have no idea how to use Etsy either! I know you're all howling now and peeing in your pants.  Save it for when you have to lift up your dresses and pee backwards!

    Seriously, if somone wants to tell me how to buy this thing and how much the friggin' thing actually costs, though I do know how to do a currency conversion on line... I also have to see if 4 cms is wide enough.... do tell me how to proceed ladies!

    Okay, the one I managed to order today for $16 is from VK Designs (can google it to get to site) and the name of the choker is  "3 inch lace choker fancy white"

    it's very very pretty and I don't think it's too plain at all because of the lace, but -- and here's my idea -- if it needs something, I could pin a pretty brooch in the center.  rhinestone or rhinestone and pearl.  this dress-up stuff is the best!
