New Necklace Design: Gemstone Choker

I have been a longtime fan of the gemstone necklace, a row of identical stones that lay flat on the nape of your neck, something consistent and classically beautiful. I love dressing up something as simple as a chambray shirt with a necklace like this. But I've never seen one worn so close to the neck, the way this is done--just like Ralph Lauren did it at his latest Fall '12 fashion show. It doesn't lay flat, it's wrapped tight around the neck, slightly messy, making it this different type of look--almost messy diamonds. It's so unique and "new" and this gemstone choker is a chic and different necklace option.
