Material

Taking something we use everyday and perceive it as just metal, we bring a new meaning.

Brass is a metal alloy of copper and zinc, used for centuries, metals can be reworked without losing their quality. The importance of brass it is sustainable, 90% of all brass in the world is recycled.

Some designs also combine bone reclaimed cow-horn recycled from the food industry. Instead of making it waste we up-cycle the bone and give appreciation to the animal. 

With every purchase comes with an organic dust bag to protect your jewelry as well a knit cotton cleaning swatch taken from the fashion industry fabric waste.

Our Name

Chokers play a dominate role in accessories, for fashion it became a must have accessory.

We have taken- Chok as the first meaning for our name followed by the word Item referencing from the phrase, “Those two are an item”.  A strong connection between you and your jewelry.  Placing both together Chokitem was born. 

With every design has a story to tell and the only way to know is to explore, take the risk, be inspired and inspire others. One timeless piece becomes that one of a kind you can’t live without.
