Our mission at Chokerz4men is to provide men with very tasteful, well-designed, high quality, original, affordable neck jewelry to enhance their appearance ~ no matter what activities they are
engaged in. Whether they are at the gym, on the job, in a club, at a dinner party or spending time with that special person, we hope our fashion jewelry will make them look and feel just a
little bit better.
We began the company by accident. Chokerz4men was born when I was coerced into accompanying a friend who was attending a world acclaimed international jewelry and gem exposition. As I
walked aisle after aisle of fabulous displays of precious and semi-precious stones, beautiful minerals, gold and silver chains, exotic beads and dazzling pieces of finished, custom,
original jewelry, I was struck by what I did not see. There was no jewelry for men. Everything was geared to women. Wow! It was like men did not exist.
The year was 2005 and men wearing earrings had become very commonplace. Also, men that could afford it were wearing very expensive watches, some costing $50,000.00. This
was definitely not just about telling time because that could be accomplished with a $25.00 watch. No, this was about body adornment and self expression. It was men making a fashion
statement about who they were with what they were accessorizing with.
I began reflecting on how men expressed themselves when dressing. An important accessory that used to add a bit of color and splash was the necktie. If a guy was conservative he might
wear a solid color tie or a rep stripe; a corporate executive would wear a power tie in red or blue; someone who wanted to express a more sophisticated look might wear an Hermes print;
men who were more confident might wear a more vivid color, a fun conversational print or a masculine jacquard pattern design. The choice of a tie was to be an important way that a man could give a
little hint about who he is. It isn’t any more.
Its 2008 ~ where most men are not required to wear a tie at work and they rarely choose to wear one when dressing casually. In fact, most men wear open collared shirts and their necks are
totally naked ~ but now they don't have to be! Guys wear T-shirts, polo shirts, sport shirts with jeans, khaki’s, shorts or dress slacks most of the time. That’s it. There is
no other way for them to signal anything about themselves until now.
Chokerz4men was born to provide men with a fun, special and unique way to dress up their necks and complete their wardrobes while giving other guys a little window into their personality.
The reason that we offer so many unique categories of design is that all men are not the same in their preferences. That’s the good news.
At Chokerz 4 Men, we offer individual groups that cover a wide range of tastes that appeal to men that want a dressy look, others who are carefree and whimsical, some who honor faith and others
that flow in and out of many lifestyles. At Chokerz4men the choice is yours.
We are excited, but not sure where our online newsletter/blogging will take us. But one thing we know is that we want to constantly offer the best looking, best value Chokers,
Necklaces, Pendants and Bracelets for our customers and we are hoping that by having a blog it will enable us to hear from you, about what you like, don’t like or are looking for in men’s
fashion jewelry.
We will use this blog to keep you informed of new products, future events, possible discounts on selected styles or contests ~ so please feel free to subscribe so that you are always updated when new
information or promotions are published.
Some guys have contacted us about including our men's fashion jewelry as part of their commitment, and now wedding ceremonies. Whether as matching gifts for the groomsmen or for the husbands,
we are looking forward to supplying the best original men's jewelry that will help make it even a more special day.

It's not very often you see a major sports league add sexual orientation to a list of protected classes, however, that's what happened in the NFL's new collective bargaining agreement. The change, a very subtle wording over the previous agreement, slipped under the radar. Of course you may be wondering exactly how many gay players have been in the NFL- 3 have openly come out so far. But that doesn't mean many more are waiting and hiding because they feared losing their job. Most importantly this additions shows main stream culture's willingness to change and adapt, there might not be that many gay NFL players but stating that sexual orientation doesn't matter shows the league's commitment to the issue of equality. I still wouldn't expect to see a lot of outings to occur- the culture within the locker room needs to change as well. And, slowly, it is. As more and more players express their support of LGBT equality, the locker room culture becomes more accepting, but it isn't quite there yet. We're still a while away from an openly gay man being drafted by an NFL team, however, this change and the slowly changing locker room culture means it can happen and most likely will happen in the near future.
