FORMS GRS Certified Fancy Sapphire Diamond Necklace Cuff Demi-Parure Suite
Located in New York, NY
This necklace and cuff bracelet demi-parure suite presented together are a striking juxtaposition of hyper-real and abstract with gems as vivacious and delicate as nature itself. FORMS, a high jewelry house established in Hong Kong in 2010, produces fewer than 100 pieces per year—out-of-the-ordinary sculptural pieces with deceptively simple formal elements that have been reduced and distilled to essentials, so their beauty can spring forth.
The necklace features tactilely pleasing and expressive calla lilies, evocative of strong feminine qualities and tinged with 1940s glamour. Their curves and voluminous forms suggest a mysterious sensuality. The naturalistic, almost hyper-realistic depiction of the blooms look fresh and dewy. In fact, the jewelers at FORMS aim to “give their signature pieces a sense of natural weightlessness.” Mission accomplished. Crafted in 18K white gold, the necklace is set with 2,145 diamonds weighing approximately 63.18 carats total that make the calla lilies’ delicate spathes glisten, and 10 fancy sapphires...

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.
