A story tied to the end of the Second World War, to peace and to that magical and visionary island that has been a source of inspiration for artists, writers and poets from all over the world. The first character in the story is the young Pietro Capuano, heir to a family of Neapolitan jewelers; Pietro was nicknamed Chantecler for his eccentric and irreverent personality, after the rooster in the novel of that name by Edmond Rostand. In 1950 when Pietro Capuano, along with his friend Salvatore Aprea, founded the Chantecler brand and opened a jewelry shop that became an instant hit with the international jet set. The masterpieces that emerged from the two men's creativity have enchanted actresses, princesses and aristocrats from all over the world, from Jacqueline Kennedy and Audrey Hepburn to Ingrid Bergman Rossellini.​ The origins are in Capri, where the first shop was located, but they are all over the world. The Chantecler headquarters is now in Milan, while the production center is in the city of Valenza Po, an area of goldsmiths known around the world for its manufacturing excellence. ​​ Collateral: This necklace is accompanied by a presentation jewelry box.
