14 Kt Yellow Gold Chain Necklace with Sacred Hearts of Jesus, Joseph and Mary
Located in Roma, RM
Chain choker necklace with 3 mobile pendants Chain length to be agreed. The 3 sacred hearts represent the devotion to the sacred heart of St. Joseph sacred heart (with flower branch), Mary (on fire, pierced by dagger with wreath of flowers) and Jesus(crown of thorns and cross). The heart, biblically speaking, is the center of the emotions, of human feelings; that is why the heart, mentioned so often in the Bible, has supreme importance. And since the heart reacts to human emotions, that is why it can be considered the center of sensitivity, so much so that it is considered part of the soul. And in theology, the heart is the divine category of love. "My Divine Heart so ardently loves men that unable to contain within Itself any longer the flames of Its burning love, It needs spread them". The Holy Heart of Jesus is our heart bursting and burning with love and energy even for those who do not love Him and reject Him. ​The Immaculate Heart of Mary...

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.
