Bill Smith
He was born in 1936 and is an American fashion and jewelry designer who was the first black recipient of a Coty Award for his designs. He has designed for a number of companies, including costume jewelry for Coro and Richelieu, leather goods for Mark Cross, and furs for Ben Kahn, along with designing jewelry for Cartier. In June 1968, Bill Smith was made vice-president of Richelieu, at that time the second largest jewelry firm in America, after only two months with the company as their head designer. Later that year in October, he was commissioned to exclusively create all the jewelry for the Broadway production of Coco, a stage musical about the life of Coco Chanel starring Katharine Hepburn. Bill Smith was one of six jewelry designers honored with a special Coty Award in 1970 alongside Daniel Stoenescu and Steven Brody of Cadoro, Alexis Kirk, Marty Ruza and Cliff Nicholson. His designs draw inspiration from his African heritage and have been described as sparse and sculptural. At the time of the Coty Award win his designs incorporated tassels, leather, and cord alongside metal and stone, and he had experience with precious and semi-precious stones and metals. Alongside more traditional jewelry, he offered chignon covers and belts, including one in fringed suede fastened with an eight-inch gilded mermaid, and a range of architectural ethnic-style crosses, titled "Peacemakers", hanging from silk cords.

VITO CAMPANELLA 1970 Surrealist Pendant Brooch In 18Kt Yellow Gold With Gems
Located in Miami, FL
Pendant brooch designed by Vito Campanella (1932-2014).
Very rare pendant brooch, created by the surrealist artist, sculptor, and goldsmith Vito Campanella, back in the late 1970's. This piece of art was crafted in Buenos Aires Argentina in solid yellow gold of 18 karats with brushed and polished finishes. The artistic brooch was made up in three dimensions with three women's profiles with surrealist patterns and is part of the collection named "Mujer.... Mujeres". It is embellished with eighteen earth mined natural gemstones such: diamonds and one emerald. The piece is fitted at the reverse with a ring to wear as a necklace in a chain and a hinged pin bar with a mechanical lock to wear as a brooch.
Vito Campanella
Vito Campanella was an Argentine painter of Italian origin born in Monopoli, Bari on October 17, 1932. Before establishing himself in Buenos Aires in 1955, Campanella studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Brera in Milan and in cultural centers of important European artists. Campanella has had numerous solo and group exhibitions. At the age of 16, the young Campanella was selected to create a mural in the church of his hometown and shortly after he won the “Pintura delle Regione” prize in Naples. In 1952, at just 20 years old, he was invited to exhibit at the Annual Salon of Bari, then traveling to the beautiful city of Florence, where he participated in various cultural activities and began to travel his aesthetic path through abstract art, pop art and geometry, until he found his definitive style, surrealism. Later, thanks to the sculptor G. Rossi, there was a meeting with the person who finally defined his painting: the teacher Giorgio De Chirico, founder of the Scuola Metafisica movement, architect of Campanella's relationship with this philosophical current. In Rome, he met Salvador Dalí, who became an important reference for Campanella within surrealism. For a period, he lived in Milan, and took anatomy classes at the School of Fine Arts of the renowned Brera Academy, acquiring knowledge of harmony and proportion of the human body that would later be widely reflected in his work. There he began to become interested in the Latin American and Argentine painting movements of the 1950s and decided to reunite with his family, already settled in Argentina, without leaving aside his ties with Europe. Thus, he participated in the Metamorphosis Salon of the Grand Palais de Champs-Élysées and the Salon d'Autumne Vallambreuse, both in Paris. His Surrealist jewels have corroborated his gift as skilled goldsmith.
