Terrace Tourmaline Rose and Diamond Pendant

What We Love
A Vito Inspired design – designed by Catbird as an homage to Vito and his magical trunk of gems.
A one of a kind pendant, designed by Catbird, inspired by the world of Vito Giallo – artist, antiques dealer, and quintessential New Yorker. Like the pink roses that grow on the terrace tucked off of Vito’s bedroom in his Brooklyn brownstone.
Made in our Brooklyn studio using solid 10k gold, pearls, peridot leaves and a morganite rose.
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.
