Queste collane sono un esempio dei regali che D'Annunzio commissionava all'amico Mario Buccellati, detto 'Mastro Parogon Coppella' che il Vate era solito chiamare 'Il Principe degli Orafi'. Il primo lavoro che Buccellati realizzò nel 1920 per D'Annunzio furono le 'spallline' per la legione Abruzzo a cui seguirono numerosi gioielli destinati alle affascinanti amanti del poeta.
