18K Gold and Sodalite Necklace by Aldo Cipullo for Cartier with a “Rounds” Design

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.
