1980s Italian necklaces signed 'ITALY l demaria', featuring exceptional craftsmanship with a bold geometric design comprising a dramatic V-shaped hinged centrepiece adorned with very sparkly, square set stones, likely Swarovski crystals, in an intricate pave setting, accented by two polished gold-toned domed medallions. The concealed clasp, at the side of the hinged 'V,' and mesh chain highlight its complex construction, making it a true standout piece. Signed with a rectangular cartouche reading “ITALY” and “l demaria” it reflects the era’s glamorous and flamboyant style. Measuring approximately 40cm long and weighing 97.5g, it is in very good condition and the stones are still perfect and dazzling. A collector’s gem for vintage jewellery enthusiasts. Certain online listings link 'l demaria' jewellery to a designer called "Sonia Demaria," but I’ve found no reliable evidence to confirm this. I love the boldness of 1980s statement jewellery, which "l Demaria" executes brilliantly, making this elusive maker’s identity frustrating given the stunning designs and craftsmanship of these pieces. Please do get in touch if you know about the back history of this designer/brand, it would be wonderful to know more.
