A. Codognato: Memento Vivere - Hardcover

by Alessandro Codognato (Editor), Eduardo Cicelyn (Editor), Angelo Flaccavento (Editor)

With an alchemical mix of precious metals, stones and mysterious symbols, Codognato jewelry is as elegant as it is morbid

Tucked behind St. Mark's Square since 1866, the family-run Codognato jewelry shop has been crafting exquisite, enticing pieces from a vortex of eccentric motifs--Byzantine, Roman and Renaissance-inspired serpent bracelets, cameos and, most famously, skull rings and earrings inspired by 17th-century memento mori images.
