CHANTECLER: A GEM-SET DRESS RING Of crossover bombé design, the oval-shaped sapphire cabochon within brilliant-cut diamond surround, set to the front with circular-cut sapphires, emeralds and rubies, to similarly-set terminal and to a polished band, mounted in 18K gold, signed Chantecler Capri, ring size O½
Fascinated by the beauty of the Neapolitan 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, which 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 their father's legacy, caring for the heritage of the brand while also maintaining its relevance in the current market. They have expanded to several locations, including Milan, Tokyo and Hong Kong.
