Italian heritage jeweller Buccellati sits at the heart of a beautiful triumvirate where art, fashion and craftsmanship intersect. Designing, and producing by hand, some of the most original works of high jewellery art, it is one of a handful of leading jewellers that is still managed by its founding family. Till today, Buccellati continually pays tribute to the various inspirational touchpoints that led goldsmithing virtuoso Mario Buccellati to start his own business in 1919.
These range from traditional Italian arts and crafts such as Venetian lace and silk making and Etruscan patterns to wildlife and vegetation throughout the country. Buccellati’s creations were also influenced by the Italian Renaissance period and its progressive interpretations of art, culture and literature.
But most of all, jewellery by Buccellati forefronts magnificent handcrafted Italian goldsmithing techniques, some of which had been invented—or reinvented—by the House, and others which had been lovingly preserved and perpetuated by its teams of artisans today. Over the decades, time-honoured techniques like engraving, open-working and enchaining have become an intrinsic part of the Buccellati creative process, synonymous with the jeweller’s signature style.
