Using this choker is a breeze. You can wrap it around your neck once or twice according to your style preference. You can leave it loose for a laid - back look or tie a bow for a more girly touch. When wearing it, make sure the gold details are facing out for maximum effect. As for maintenance, keep it away from water and harsh chemicals to prevent the gold details from fading. Store it in a dry and cool place, like a jewelry box, when not in use. This will help keep it looking shiny and new for a long time.
