rtist Renato Cipullo’s legacy can be traced back to his father, Guissepe Cipullo, an innovative Italian designer of costume jewelry who revolutionized the industry in the 1950’s through his bold approach and development of manufacturing techniques. His late brother, Aldo Cipullo, later went on the create the iconic Cartier Love Bracelet, thereby establishing the family name’s place in jewelry history. In a book he recently co-authored with celebrated jewelry writer, Vivienne Becker, and published by Assouline, Renato explores his brother’s fearlessness and uncompromising design principals, themes that also characterize his own eponymous designs.

While his aesthetic range is expansive, Renato’s work is immediately identifiable. The intricate details incorporated into every piece are extraordinary, and his elaborate workmanship renders his jewelry wearable works of art. His artistry rises to the occasion of his discerning clientele, which includes royalty and celebrities, and those seeking to reflect their achievements and aspirations in their choice of jewelry. His pieces are described as “Timeless and romantic; elegant and intricate,” and these concepts are consistent throughout his collection of 18k gold jewelry and bespoke masterpieces.

Based in New York, Renato’s work maintains a European design sensibility and dedication to exquisite craftsmanship. His Zodiac line features sculptural, three-dimensional pendants with each hair of the lion and tuft of the bull elaborately detailed. Influences of his Italian roots are woven throughout his collections, including a Carnelian ring inspired by the Ancient Roman game of Bocce ball, his Amorosa necklace declaring “Amore” in geometric block letters, and his Pompeii pieces juxtaposing rich red coral with matte finished gold.

Working out of his 5th Avenue showroom, Renalto also delights in creating commissioned pieces that meet the most exacting standards. While working collaboratively with his clients, he is able to develop stunning pieces that transform an existing design into something more resonant, or designing a piece from conception to fabrication. Working with clients in-person or remotely, his ability to deeply comprehend both their vision and their motivations allows women to express their individuality within the framework of his signature style.
