Demuth Tablet Intaglio and Diamond Ring

What We Love
A one of a kind ring, designed by Catbird using an antique agate from the collection of Vito Giallo – artist, antiques dealer, quintessential New Yorker. Vito would have loved this ring.
Made in our Brooklyn studio using 100% recycled 14k gold and recycled diamonds.
Charles Demuth was a renowned watercolor artist; Vito found a painting by him at a junk shop for $7 and gave it to his dear friend Trudy. When Trudy fell on hard times, she sold the painting and it supported her for the rest of her life.
In honor of our collaboration with Vito, the Catbird Giving Fund is proud to have made a donation of $40,000 to SAGE, a national advocacy and services organization in their mission to look out for LGBTQ+ elders.

DesignerVito Giallo, artist, illustrator and antiques dealer, was Andy Warhol’s first apprentice and the first to give Warhol a show in 1954. Vito’s antiques shop across from the Carlyle at 966 Madison Avenue was a destination for Mark Rothko, André Leon Talley, Jackie Kennedy, and Andy – who visited every day. In 1969, Vito came into possession of a trunk full of gems, and other than selling a few to Andy, he saved them since then. 53 years later, we were so proud to present Catbird x Vito’s Gems.
