POLO HERITAGE

An illustrious and storied history accompanies the sport of polo, spanning continents, cultures and
classes. Referred to as the “sport of kings,” it is no surprise that polo is a favorite among the British
royal family and counts Winston Churchill and General Patton among its devoted followers. However,
delving deeper into polo’s heritage, one learns of the diverse community that has made it a global
pastime. Polo Heritage guides the reader on a journey from Mongolia to Mexico, from Barbados to
Pakistan, and inside the most prestigious tournaments, whether they take place on grass, sand or snow.

MAKING JEWELRY MODERN

Born to a family of jewelers, Aldo Cipullo became the most glamorous jewelry designer of the 1970s
and early ’80s. He left Italy for exciting possibilities in New York City, and by 1960 he was working for
the society jeweler David Webb. Aldo went on to Tiffany & Co., where he began developing his own
vocabulary, and in 1969 he moved to Cartier, where he introduced modern and timeless creations such as
the Love bracelet. Cipullo struck out on his own in 1974, continuing to create jewelry that turned heads.
