I came across a pattern from stitchdiva.com not long ago for "throat
adornments." I just did the throat cuff (item B from tha pattern) and think that
alchemy yarn would work really well for it as well. They recommended Tilli
Thomas beaded silk (and that is what I used), but the texture of alchemy would
work really well for it also. I have used Alchemy before in other things and the
bamboo would give it just enough stiffness that I think the Tilli Thomas lacks.

Here is a link to their pattern if you want to check it out:

Good luck with whatever you decide on!
