Buccellati, founded in 1919, has established a distinct style in jewellery through its mastery of traditional goldsmithing techniques.

Two of Buccellati’s contemporary collections, Macri and Tulle, showcase this exceptional artistry. Macri emulates the texture of silk fabrics with the rigato engraving technique, featuring up to 20,000 individual engravings and adorned with diamonds set in star-shaped rosettes. Tulle evokes Venetian lace with openworked net-like structures, carved into gold plates as thin as half a millimetre. Buccellati’s dedication to preserving Renaissance-era goldsmithing crafts sets it apart, resulting in jewels that are akin to wearable art pieces. Today, the family-owned brand continues to thrive under the creative direction of Andrea Buccellati and his daughter Lucrezia, maintaining the legacy of Buccellati’s unparalleled craftsmanship.
