About the Item

Vintage deLillo Gold Tone Detailed Choker Circa 1970s. This necklace is so gorgeous and so unique. It's designed for a small neck, measuring 13 inches, so it's a genuine choker. However, if it fits you, it will be a masterpiece forever. It is made of gold beads on either side and joined in the middle by the most beautiful piece of hardware I have ever seen used in jewelry. It looks like an antique piece of French Hardware used in a castle. It is a blend of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, combining elements from both styles. The closure is a slide, so you see nothing but the jewelry once closed. An actual piece of work! This does lie flat if it fits your neck, as shown in the video. It doesn't fit the mannequin well and sits up. William de Lillo was only in business for nine years under his name, so the pieces bearing his name are genuine and remarkable masterpieces.
