Caged
Collection
Verdura's fascination with birds can be traced back to his childhood home where an enormous birdcage filled the foyer of his ancestral family home in Palermo, Italy. Decades later and a world away, he created the first Caged Ring.
The simplistic and utilitarian design of the birdcage inspired Verdura to design a Caged Ring in aquamarine and rose gold, owned by Dorothy Paley Hirshon. Verdura replaced the exotic birds with mixed-cut gemstones that "sang" softly as they rattled against one another in their gilded cage.

In 2005, Verdura reintroduced the Caged Ring and over the years, it became a renewed icon of the house.

In 2018, Verdura adapted the design to create a lariat necklace, cuff and pendant earclips.
