Portago Pearl Diamond Halo Ring

What We Love
A Vito Inspired design – designed by Catbird as an homage to Vito and his magical trunk of gems.A pearl ring with two concentric diamond halos.
Made in New York using 100% recycled solid 14k gold, a mabe pearl, and recycled diamonds.
Andrea Portago was a customer of Vito’s who once owned the cow by Andy Warhol that then hung in his bathroom, tucked discreetly behind a door in true Vito style.
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.
