Sicily Bangles
Dear Friends,
In a 1941 interview with The New Yorker, Fulco di Verdura explained why he came to America, ‘There was no past for me here. I didn’t have to say, ‘My God, Venice isn’t what it used to be!’ America was a refreshingly blank canvas for the young duke. His jewelry captured the unpretentious and idiosyncratic personalities of his new friends and clients, but remained ripe with references to his aristocratic childhood in Sicily.
American glamour is often about contradiction: “throwaway chic”, “hi-low style” and “casual elegance.” We are delighted to introduce the Off-Season Collection over a dozen new archival pieces that we feel captures this paradox of American style. These bangles, lariats, hoops and pendants are meant to be as relevant to your wardrobe in high season as well as off season, whether you don them for an audience or a solo stroll down an empty beach. What do you wear when it’s just for yourself? Those are the pieces that become part of you the quiet luxury of knowing your own personal style.
We hope this catalog inspires you to find a new piece to love and wear it exactly when and how you please.
