M A LT E S E C R O S S STONE CUFFS

COCO CHANE L While working with Chanel in the 1930s, Verdura designed the first enameled cuffs for the coutourière with stones from her personal collection. Inspired by the heraldic symbol of the Medieval Knights of Malta, the Maltese Cross Cuffs launched Verdura’s career.

THEODOR A PENDANT BROOCH

R AV E N N A P E N DA N T BROOCH

E M PRES S THEODOR A Verdura began his career in the early 1930s with Coco Chanel. Among the first pieces he made were the Theodora and Ravenna brooches, vibrant starburst designs, a notable departure from the proliferation of platinum and diamond jewelry. Inspired by the mosaics of the Byzantine Empire, Verdura began a modern revolution.

DOU B LE - CRESCE NT Since its creation in 1944, Verdura’s Double Crescent Bracelet has been adopted by style-setters including Marjorie Meriwether Post and Diana, Princess of Wales. The interlocking Cs derive from the cipher of Diana, Roman goddess of the hunt.

DOROTHY PALE Y In his whimsical 1940 “Target” design, Verdura imagined arrows piercing diamond holes in a gold rope target. Dorothy Paley owned the brooch and matching earclips, an appropriate emblem for a woman who never missed the mark.

CRISS CROSS CUFFS

“ PANAMA HAT TIE ” In 1940, Linda Porter commissioned Verdura to design a cigarette case for her husband, Cole, on the opening of his Broadway show, “Panama Hattie.” Copying the weave of his own Panama hat, Verdura crisscrossed strips of gold.

COLE PORTER Dating back to September 1939, the “Night and Day” design originated as a pair of cufflinks, a tribute to friend and composer, Cole Porter. The whimsical design — a reference to Cole’s eponymous song — is one of the jeweler’s most romantic creations.

MOSAIC RINGS

MOSAIC In the early 1930s, Verdura toured Europe with Coco Chanel, visiting the Byzantine mosaics in Ravenna. Verdura set out to break the rules of popular style, pressing colored gems into yellow gold in splendid contradiction to one another.
