Buccellati is a renowned high-jewelry brand, admired for its craftsmanship and the uniqueness of its creations. Distinctive is the use of rare stones with extraordinary colours, mixed with white and yellow gold, all nicely carved like laces. Today, the Buccellati jewels stand out for their design and for the techniques used to create them, such as the hand-engraving technique, dating back to the ancient goldsmithing traditions of the Italian “bottega” during the Renaissance times. The shapes of the collections are all inspired by the historical archive drawings and by the very first creations of the founder, Mario Buccellati. Today, the Maison is 100% owned by the Richemont Group. Andrea Buccellati is Honorary Chairman and Creative Director, with other members of the family in key management positions. Buccellati boutiques are present in the most important cities and in the most prestigious Malls of the world.
