Guten Tag

Wie kann ich auf Englisch zwischen Collier und Halsreif unterscheiden? Beide habe ich bisher als "necklace" übersetzt aber an manchen Stellen sollte ich eigentlich eine Unterscheidung machen.

Bei diesem Hersteller sind:
Halsreif - aus mehreren Strängen gefertigt (zB 9-reihig)
und
Collier - eher wie ein Halsband

und beide eindeutig keine "Kette" (EN=chain composed of links).

Danke für eure Vorschläge,
Craig

agree Dorothy Schaps : I would definitely go for 'choker' for a 'Halsband' style necklace.
