Book Cipullo: Making Jewelry Modern by Assouline

Description

Born in Naples in 1935 into a family of jewelers, Aldo Cipullo became the most glamorous jewelry designer of the 1970s and early '80s. Aldo Cipullo left Italy for the exciting possibilities of life in New York, enrolling in the School of Visual Arts. In 1960, he worked for the company's acclaimed jeweler David Webb, known for his bold and expressive designs, before joining Tiffany & Co., where he began to develop his own design vocabulary.

In 1969, he moved to Cartier alongside company president Michael Thomas, where, at the top of his game, he introduced some of the most modern and timeless designs, such as the Love bracelet, a seminal design that is attached to the wearer's wrist with a special screwdriver. He followed it up in 1971 with the Nail collection, inspired by a nail wrapped around the finger or wrist, a surprising creation that embodies the gritty glamor of New York at the time.

Aldo Cipullo struck out on his own in 1974, continuing to create jewelry for men and women that turned heads, including pieces shaped like the dollar sign, which he considered "the electric eye that reflects the mood of this country. In 1978, the American Gem Society asked him to create a collection with stones mined in America, such as Arizona turquoise, Arkansas diamonds, and Montana sapphires; these pieces are now part of the Smithsonian Institution. Although he sadly passed away suddenly in 1984, Aldo Cipullo's legacy of avant-garde yet classic designs still remains popular.

This boxed volume is filled with striking images of Aldo Cipullo's modern jewelry designs, which are both iconic and universal, intimate but also intensely personal, contemporary and timeless. Punctuated with Cipullo family photos and touching anecdotes from Aldo's friends, Cipullo: Making Jewelry Modern tells the story of one of the most innovative and, to date, enigmatic talents in jewelry history. modern jewelry.
