A GEM-SET AND DIAMOND 'CAMPANELLE' SAUTOIR NECKLACE, BY CHANTECLERThe fancy-link chain suspending various detachable bell-shaped 'campanelle' charms set with brilliant-cut diamonds, blue sapphires, yellow sapphires, emeralds, rock crystal... mounted in 18K gold, signed Chantecler, chain length 81cmFascinated by the beauty of the Neapolitian island, jeweller Pietro Capuano set up his company Chantecler in Capri in 1929.A descendant of a family of jewellers, Capuano was well versed in the business and led him to establish a very successful company. The name has quite a personal relation to the man himself, Chantecler being his nickname given to him by his friends. It reflected his love of fun and socialising often staying up partying until the early morning hours.Nearly two decades on from beginning to trade in Capri, Chantecler opened his first shop on the Via Camerelle. As the first jewellery shop on the island it was a highly respected institution even after the arrival of many more companies in the following years.Living amongst the beautiful landscape of Capri, Chantecler derived most of its inspiration from the natural world. Marine subjects were very popular amongst their designs and became instant classics. He fully immersed himself in the glamorous lifestyle of Capri, befriending the rich and famous personalities and hosting lavish parties at his villa.Chantecler had only one main collaborator during his career, Salvatore Aprea, who began working with the company in 1947 and who continued the business following Capuano’s death in 1981. Today the brand is run by his family, headed by his children Maria Elena, Constanze and Gabriele. They have continued on their father’s legacy, caring for the heritage of the brand while also maintaining it’s relevance in the current market. They have expanded to a number of locations including Milan, Tokyo and most recently Hong Kong.Inspired by the legendary stories of Capri, Campanella is a timeless jewel.The inspiration came from the Capri legend of San Michele, in which a young shepherd finds his lost sheep thanks to the tinkling of a bell given to him by the Saint. Since then, the bell has become a talisman recognized as a symbol of peace and good fortune.Its history began in 1947 when President Roosevelt received the first bell as a peace gesture from Pietro Capuano who had the idea of making a bronze bell to give to him.The modern Campanella is constantly changing while adhering to its founding principles. It is a poignant, graceful, and vibrant porte-bonheur. Campanella epitomizes the unique elegance of Capri.
