Aldo Cipullo, born in Naples in 1935 to a family of jewelers, became a leading jewelry designer in the 1970s and '80s. He honed his craft in New York City, starting with David Webb and later joining Tiffany & Co., where he developed his unique design style.
In 1969, he moved to Cartier and introduced iconic creations like the Love bracelet and Nail collection, reflecting the boldness and gritty glamour of New York at that time. Going solo in 1974, Cipullo continued crafting attention-grabbing pieces, including dollar sign-shaped jewelry that mirrored the country's mood.
His legacy endures despite his sudden passing in 1984. This book showcases Aldo Cipullo's timeless yet contemporary jewelry designs, accompanied by family photos and anecdotes from his friends, unraveling the story of this innovative and somewhat enigmatic jewelry talent.
Founded in Paris in 1994 by Prosper and Martine Assouline, Assouline is the first luxury brand on culture. It began with the desire to create a new, contemporary style of book, using the couple's experienced eye for visually rich stories and compelling narratives.
Guided by their passion for knowledge, culture and travel, the Assoulines have since expanded their vision to 1,700 titles in three main collections, along with special editions and unique library accessories—a grand oeuvre of inspiring creations. Throughout the last quarter of a century, the brand has established a network of international boutiques in prominent locations across the globe.
With a distinguished team of creative talents—which includes the founders' son Alexandre—the brand continues to reinvent the notion of true luxury. Assouline’s roster of collaborators includes some of the world’s most respected brands, artists, photographers, writers and designers.
