Karleen Choker

Karleen ChokerTHE STORY I was at an old shipyard, looking at the heavy chains coiled on the dock, some rusted dark, others worn smooth and bright from years of use. That contrast, dark against light, heavy against fluid, stayed with me. Karleen came from that image, multiple chains in silver and black silver layered together, draping over the shoulders and arms like something pulled straight off that dock and reshaped into armor. I wanted a piece that felt

store it in a soft pouch when not in use

Kali is made for anyone who loves a hoop but wants something with a bit more character

precision-cut with a sunburst detail at the base

it is her turn

She goes from lunch to midnight without asking permission

There was something almost regal about the way those straps wrapped the ankle

This handmade snake-print leather statement necklace drapes down the full length of the body like something that was always alive

She pairs beautifully with diamond-white and ivory gowns

Somewhere between a Ottoman palace and a Parisian runway
