William de Lillo William De Lillo (deceased 2011) was born in Belgium and moved to the United States in the 1950's. After working for Cartier and Harry Winston, he started The House of de Lillo with Robert F. Clark, the head designer for Miriam Haskell Jewels, in 1968. De Lillo jewelry was incredibly detailed his designs are timeless. The work was almost all hand done and created almost exclusively for wealthy private clients including the Duchess of Windsor and Elizabeth Taylor. Jewels by William de Lillo are featured in museums around the world, and are considered by some to be the "Holy Grail" of jewelry collecting. William de Lillo was only in business for nine years under his name, so the pieces bearing his name are true masterpieces and quite remarkable. The necklace is 22 1/2 inches long.
