Dating back to September 1939 when Verdura first opened his doors on Fifth Avenue, the “Night & Day” design originated as a pair of cufflinks, a tribute to friend and composer, Cole Porter, who along with Vincent Astor loaned Verdura the capital to found his own business. The whimsical design – a reference to Cole’s eponymous song – is one of the jeweler’s most romantic creations, a gift of the earth and starry night sky captured in a blue Verdura box.
