Garance choker necklace

Garance is not a first name you find often. This charming name is formed from the word Garance, French for the madder plant that grows in warm, temperate regions, and is easily recognisable for its red roots that produce a natural red dye. At the beginning of the 20th century it was used to stain textiles used in making the trousers of French army uniforms. In later years, when the colour was considered too conspicuous, it was replaced with horizon blue.

To honour this little anecdote from the history of France, the designer dresses this little gem with turquoise stones.

This gemstone is known for its calming properties. It also increases empathy, fosters personal fulfillment and helps decrease stress.

Its blue colour reminds us of the depths of the oceans, or the immensity of the sky. 

This colour is linked to dreams, emotions and serenity. 

Splendour and beauty characterise this choker. In a vintage couture style, this choker will enhance your neckline.

In a world where everyone is trying to reinvent themselves, with image being the focus, being on trend is an instrument of power and communication and allows us to express our uniqueness and stand out from the crowd.

Enchanting and timeless, the Khaïden brand, by French designer, is keen to play a role in this personal alchemy, bringing you luxury modernised pieces for women, with a baroque and vintage feel.

Blue is the color of the sky, sea and ocean. Combined with water, this hue symbolizes serenity, clarity and spiritual awakening.

Symbols of transparency, blue stones are associated with truth, vision and sincerity.

The choker is making a big comeback. The most influential celebrities seize it.
Also poetically called "dog collar" in French, the English term for this style of collar is even more violent. "It's a Choker Necklace" they say. The verb "to choke" simply means to strangle. The choker, a necklace that has been strangling, wrapping and clutching the throat of ladies, for hundreds of years.
This necklace has gone from a symbol of violence to a symbol of "girl power".
The women of the bourgeoisie wore chokers.
At that time, a black choker often meant women had certain “services” to offer.
In the twentieth century the choker pops up again in royal circles with some queens wearing incredible diamond-studded chokers.
It is the "hot" accessory of the moment, mainstream but which gives you this little edgy side. Sexy but badass.
A person who rocks with a strong desire to unleash her deepest essence, her creative potential, her spontaneity!
