Objects of Desire
A Valentines gift to get their heart racing! In a sea of sameness, a Rybo stands out. It speaks of American ingenuity, craftsmanship, pride in workmanship and an uncompromising commitment to excellence. The appreciation of Rybovich is in my blood. Growing up around the corner from the boatyard, my world revolved around one thing: the boats! I grew up knowing that a Rybovich is not just a product, but something more important. It’s a legacy inherited from my father, and from his father. If you look closely at a Rybo, you’ll find the mind of the innovator, the hand of the perfectionist and the passionate eye of the artist. I’m thrilled to announce that jewelry-designer Joe Chioffe, acknowledged for creating remarkable collections for Tiffany and Cartier, now brings his innovation, perfection and passion to a new collection of jewelry to honor the Rybovich legacy. Plus a few new inspired pieces for Valentine’s Day! Inspired by celebrated Rybovich icons—like the 1947 cabinet door vent on Rybovich Hull #1—in Joe’s skilled hands this utilitarian piece of hardware is transformed into breathtaking jewelry in glistening sterling, gold and diamonds. In an entirely different direction, the distinctive silhouette of the classic Rybovich double-handrail (a Rybovich signature since the 1949 launch of Hull #2) is transformed into the effortless style of his Double Handrail Bracelet. Crafted by the artist in his Long Island studio, Joe Chioffe’s collection evokes the glamour of Rybovich in her 1940s-1960s heyday. “I’ve had the pleasure of caring for my 1957 Rybo for over 30 years. And after all these years I’m still in awe of the creative thinking that went into each of Tommy’s masterpieces. It’s clear he loved his work and I also love what I do.” Joe explains, “That's why it’s such a pleasure for me to transform Tommy’s ideas into beautiful jewelry for people to admire and wear with pride.” Joe Chioffe’s designs for Pat Rybovich Classic are creations of stunning elegance and captivating originality. Created in a small edition as a true collector’s item, Joe’s inspired design, timeless style, enduring elegance and true heirloom quality follows the tradition of Rybovich. The entire collection—including Joe’s new Valentines creations—is available exclusively at the Rybovich Book website. CLICK TO SEE THE ENTIRE COLLECTION! www.RybovichBook.com/jewelry |
