Buccellati Information and FAQ

About Buccellati Jewelry

Buccellati is an ultra-luxury Italian jewelry house renowned for its "textile-like" gold work and intricate hand-engraving. Unlike many modern jewelers that rely on casting, Buccellati artisans use centuries-old techniques—such as Rigato, Telato, and Modellato—to make precious metals look as soft and airy as lace or silk. Every piece is a testament to Milanese craftsmanship and timeless Renaissance aesthetics.

History of Buccellati

Founded in 1919 by Mario Buccellati in Milan, the brand quickly became a favorite of European royalty and the Vatican. Mario was the first Italian designer to open a boutique on New York’s Fifth Avenue (1951). Over four generations, the family has maintained its heritage, with legendary designers Gianmaria and Andrea Buccellati expanding the Maison's global reach while preserving the hand-crafted "Made in Italy" soul.

Buccellati Collections

While the brand offers many bespoke pieces, its signature collections include:

  • Macri: Known for the "Rigato" engraving that gives gold a silky, brushed finish.
  • Hawaii: Featuring hand-twisted gold thread circles linked together in a modern, airy design.
  • Opera & Opera Tulle: Inspired by Italian opera house architecture, featuring the brand's logo motif.
  • Ramage & Rombi: High-jewelry collections inspired by Renaissance patterns and leaf motifs.
  • Blossoms: A contemporary, accessible collection crafted in sterling silver and colorful stones.
