Sizing & Care

How to measure your neck for chokers

Chokers at L.O.N.Y are designed to closely hug the neck.
To find your perfect fit, just follow these steps:

Use a soft measuring tape (or a string + a ruler).
Wrap it around the middle of your neck, where the choker is meant to sit.
Make sure it’s snug but not too tight.
Choose your size based on this measurement. I highly recommend picking the size as close as possible to your exact measurement.
But don’t worry — every necklace comes with an extender chain for extra flexibility!

Each piece can be tailored to your body — because every neck deserves a choker that fits just right.

Which metals I use and why ?

At L.O.N.Y, every piece is handwoven using a metal chosen specifically for its visual impact and what it allows me to create. Here's the trio I work with:

◉ Bright Aluminum

Lightweight, easy to wear, and sturdier than you'd think. Its surface has a soft, slightly matte finish — despite the name “bright”, it sits somewhere between stainless steel and anodized aluminum in terms of shine.
It ages gently: it might lose a bit of its luster over time, especially if rubbed often. Still, it’s a great choice for an airy, low-maintenance piece at a lower price — while still delivering standout design.

◉ Anodized Aluminum (colored or not)

This one’s my current fave. Super luminous, almost ethereal. The anodized layer makes the metal resistant to corrosion, fading, and everyday knocks.
I did my own stress tests: soaked in soapy water, dried out — no change. If you treat it with care, these pieces can last for years without losing their color or shine.

◉ Stainless Steel

Tough as nails and built to last. I use it for clasps — because when it comes to closures, I don’t compromise.
But let’s be real: it’s not my go-to for the main body of my pieces. Too heavy, too stiff, and honestly a bit too dark for my current design vision. My work is super intricate, and stainless steel just doesn’t play nice.

How to take care of your accessory

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or humidity (pro tip: avoid the bathroom).
Remove before swimming, showering, or doing anything that exposes the piece to water.
Avoid contact with harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures, as they can wear down or tarnish the finish over time.
To clean, use a dry or slightly damp soft cloth with mild soap if needed.

*For the necklace with piercings* : the piercings are well screwed but I advise checking them sometimes. I did not want to seal them with glue because after a while the glue damages the materials.
