The Empress choker is a contemporary take on the exotic ornamental Paulownia tree popularly known as the "Royal Empress" or "Princess Tree", native to Japan and Korea. It is called Kiri in Japanese culture, while in other parts of the world, Kiri also means Tree Bark or Skin. The choker embraces the organic texture of the tree bark, as well as the poise of its vanilla fragrant light purple to blue colored flowers echoed by colored Swarovski's flushed at the ends of the choker. This petite yet statement choker makes for a minimal addition to any day-to-night outfits, wear this solo or stack them for a statement look."
