Catbird x Vito’s Gems

A pencil sketch of Vito sits behind a vintage wooden chest. Colorful gemstones arc above.

Pears of abundance, jade and diamond evening earrings, an opal turtle charm, the last of the cameos, and sapphire necklaces — pieces with stories to tell, from Vito’s magical trunk and the glittering memory of his New York.

Our ode to the luminous life of Vito Giallo, whose friendship was a joy, whose memory is an inspiration.

My gemstones have been waiting for you for 53 years

An ode to the luminous life of a quintessential New Yorker. Vito 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, Greta Garbo, Robert Mapplethorpe, 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 our first chapter of Catbird x Vito's Gems, a collection of limited edition and one-of-a-kind jewels inspired by Vito’s New York, nights at the ballet, Joseph Cornell boxes, antiquities, Venetian mirrors, his erstwhile shop on Madison Ave, an end-of-day martini at Bemelmans Bar, museum vitrines, and the arc that connects the past to the present.

"I am pleased to know that my gems will continue to be treasured and valued and live on. Objects have personalities, and when I first saw them littered in the apartment, they felt like survivors to me."

The New York Times - He worked for Warhol, but That's Just Part of the Story

Vito's New York and some of his favorite things

In honor of our collaboration with Vito Giallo, the Catbird Giving Fund is proud to make a donation of $30,000 to SAGE.
