Lella Valle Vignelli Sterling Silver " Seicento" Necklace 2003
Located in New York, NY
A collectible sterling silver "Seicento" necklace by Lella Valle Vignelli for San Lorenzo, Italy, 2003. The necklace is stamped with Italian hallmarks, 925, Imv, Z San Lorenzo.
Lella Valle Vignelli, one of Itay's most important modernist post-WWII designers (working with her husband Massimo), crafted the SEICENTO silver necklace, referring to a style of Italian art of the seventeenth century. The necklace’s design is a modern take on the Elizabethan-style collar, offering any ensemble a distinctive and sophisticated touch. This flattering creation seamlessly combines exceptional design with exquisite silversmithing craftsmanship. The necklace rests comfortably on the neck and will spark conversation at any gathering.
Lella Valle Vignelli, known professionally as Lella Vignelli, was an Italian designer born in 1934 and passed away in 2016. She gained recognition for her work across multiple design disciplines, including graphic design, interior design, and product design. Together with her husband, Massimo Vignelli, she co-established Vignelli Associates, a distinguished design firm acclaimed for its minimalist and enduring design philosophy. Lella's contributions were instrumental in shaping the design industry, notably seen in projects such as the iconic New York City subway map...

Vintage Choker Necklaces
Vintage choker necklaces are elegant, alluring and stylish. Cameos, pearls, diamonds and other stones can decorate these necklaces, which come in single or multiple strands. Whether it is a statement piece or a delicate chain, these short necklaces always stand out and turn heads.
The history of the choker can be traced back thousands of years, with Sumerian examples discovered from 2600–2500 B.C. They endured as a popular form of adornment through the centuries, and during the French Revolution they took on a symbolic significance. Women wore ribbons around their throats to mark the passing of those killed by the guillotine. Soon, the plain ribbons were adorned with small cameos and other ornamentation.
European choker necklaces gained a salacious reputation in the 19th century when prostitutes were associated with black ribbons tied around the neck, such as the model in Édouard Manet’s Olympia (1863). Queen Alexandra, Princess of Wales, reversed the trend in the late 19th century by wearing a large pearl and diamond choker, reputedly to hide a scar.
Fashioned from gold, pearls and other precious stones and metals, chokers continued to be worn into the 20th century, alternately statements of wealth and rebellion. They experienced periods of revival in the 1920s, ’40s, ’70s and ’90s for both men and women.
Vintage chokers make a statement with an unmistakable air of femininity. On 1stDibs, find an alluring collection of vintage chokers today, including gold, sapphire and emerald chokers.
