Aldo Cipullo for Cartier 18K Gold and Sodalite Rounds Necklace

Designed in 1972 by Aldo Cipullo as part of the Rounds collection, this Cartier necklace is composed of 18k gold and sodalite . It is designed as trace link chain highlighted by shaped sodalite beads with studded caps, and centers a stylized crescent or horn of sodalite. A beautifully executed jewel with outsize presence and strong design, this necklace reflects Cipullo's love of African art and amuletic objects.
