Founded in Milan in 1919 by Mario Buccellati, this Italian high jewelry house is distinguished by its rich, textural designs inspired by Renaissance and medieval art. After an apprenticeship with a local goldsmith, Buccellati established a signature style defined by intricate engraving techniques that give precious metals the appearance of delicate fabrics like silk, lace, and tulle. This focus on handcrafted artistry, passed down through generations, sets the brand apart. The house’s creations often feature nature-inspired motifs, such as leaves and flowers, and utilize methods like the honeycomb-like 'tulle' openwork and the parallel-line 'rigato' engraving to create a soft, matte finish on gold.
