珠子颈链、串珠、珠子项链


Explanation:
'Choker' 是一种脖颈饰物,通常用珠子(珍珠、水晶或其他宝石〕制成,有时也有皮革等材料制成。长度较短,戴在脖子的前方。由于此种颈饰是中国过去没有的,只在西洋风格的装束中使用,所以通常不翻译,直接使用英文。这里译作“颈链”(也可考虑译作“颈圈”〕,以便与一般的下垂式的“项链”区别。"Bead strand"以单数形式出现时,就是指一串珠子。如果已复数形式出现,可根据情况译为“双股珠链”、“多股珠链”或“串珠绞股”。

颈勒 or 颈箍 for Choker


Explanation:
如果允许创造新词,可以考虑把"Choker"译为“颈勒”或“颈箍”。北方有些地方把手表带叫做“表勒儿”,把手腕的环状饰物叫做“手勒儿”,袜带叫做“腿箍儿”,袖章叫做“胳膊箍儿”。“勒”和“箍”与英文"choker"的意思吻合。只是不知能否被业界接受,权作参考。
