The good thing about choker jewelry is that there are so many different things available, and that many of them are so cheap. If someone wants to sell you, say, a silver choker, they will try to get as much money as possible out of it, even though it is just a silver necklace with a fairly simple silver ornament attached to it. But, for some reason, if someone is selling you jewelery pendants instead, they are not going to charge nearly as much for it. So you can assemble the same pendant jewelry for a small price if you are prepared to go out and purchase the jewelery pendant in one place and the silver chain in the other.

I suspect it has to do with what people are willing to pay. Its a basic supply and demand thing, really. Many people want completed pendant jewelry - that is, an already fully assembled necklace that looks nice as is, and is ready to give as a gift. These people are willing to pay a lot of money for their jewelery necklaces - indeed, they actually expect to, and would be surprised if it was not pricey. But the people who purchase charms to assemble their own pendant jewelry are not out there looking ...
... for the perfect necklace to spend a lot of money on to give to their love. Instead, they want simply to get some kind of neat, funky little jewelery pendant things that they can put together into their own necklace. They are looking for bargains, and they are in no hurry, so the people selling pendant jewelry have to be willing to sell for less. After all, the purchasers are always willing to purchase their pendant jewelry at the thrift store instead.

I have been making my own pendant jewelry as presents for friends and family, as well as for my own fashion accessories, for some time now, and I must say that I really love the experience. Making pendant jewelry is really much the same experience as hunting in the dentist's treasure chest when you are a child. You are going to get some really neat surprise, and you never know exactly what it will be beforehand. The best is when you put together something that you know that nobody else would have thought of before. Then you have truly unique pendant jewelry!
