Piece of the Week: Renato Cipullo’s ‘Hematite Blaze’ Necklace

Designed by founder Renato and his daughter Serena Cipullo, it showcases a flame motif representing unity and the power of gathering.

Renato Cipullo Hematite Blaze Necklace
Renato Cipullo’s “Amor Fati” collection continues, now with even more meaning as the “Amor Fati II” collection debuted on Wednesday.

Renato, who was born to a family of master jewelers in Naples, Italy, founded his namesake brand in New York City in the ‘70s. His daughter Serena Cipullo, who joined the brand in 2017 with a background in architecture and art history, is now a co-designer.

Amor Fati II marks the first collaborative collection for the father-daughter team.

Amor fati is a Latin phrase that translates to “love of one’s fate.”

The saying is used to describe an attitude where one sees everything that happens in their life, good or bad, as at the very least necessary. It’s a belief that life and all its complexity is something to be embraced.

When it comes to the Cipullo family, the brand said, the saying shows the idea of past and present generations of Cipullos being “fated” for jewelry and celebrating it across time.

Within the 18-piece collection is our Piece of the Week, the “Hematite Blaze” necklace.

The platinum necklace features a hematite pendant with an 18-karat yellow gold flame motif accented by 1 carat of diamonds and an 11.50-carat opal.

The flame has been a central motif for the collection from the start and has now taken on more meaning as the father-daughter design team has continued the collection’s tale.

“This necklace is a continuation of our Amor Fati story, where the flame represents fate and the idea of embracing life as it is. For this piece, we reimagined the flame as a circular symbol of unity—like fire as a gathering point,” said Serena, managing director and co-designer of Renato Cipullo.

“It also nods to our own story, and the sense that our family, generation after generation, was always meant to be in jewelry. I wanted it to feel special and one-of-a-kind, but still something you could throw on with a t-shirt and jeans.”

The Hematite Blaze necklace retails for $22,950.

It debuted, along with the Amor Fati II collection, on May 28.

It is available on the Renato Cipullo website.
