Description Description

In the charming city of Venice , the Casa Codognato , founded by Simeone Codognato in 1866 , near St. Mark 's Square, became famous for its memento mori designs, while Attilio Codognato introduced ancient intaglios and cameos during a time of important Etruscan archaeological discoveries. Codognato emerged as one of Europe's most unique jewellers, attracting luminaries such as Gabrielle Chanel, Jean Cocteau and Diana Vreeland. Its jewels caused a sensation during the glamorous era of society balls in Venice, adorning icons such as Elizabeth Taylor, Maria Callas, Jacqueline Kennedy and Lee Radziwill. Attilio Codognato, the founder's great-grandson, has continued the creative evolution of the brand, drawing inspiration from Byzantine, Roman and Renaissance styles.

About the brand

Assouline, where culture meets luxury It all began in 1993, when Martine and Prosper Assouline found themselves at the La Colombe d'Or hotel in France, one of their most beloved places in the world. As they experienced its beauty together, their curiosity about life and love of books inspired them to make their own tome about the hotel. Prosper took the photos, Martine wrote the text, and La Colombe D'Or became their first book, published in 1994. Today, every Assouline book continues to be created with the same union of talent and passion: Martine's editorial direction and Prosper's creative vision.
