About
Buccellati Brand:
Mario Buccellati (1891-1965) established the first brand’s
store in Milan in 1919. Poet Gabriele D’Annunzio titled Buccellati “the Prince
of Goldsmiths” because of jeweler’s extraordinary talent of turning gold and
silver into luxury art objects. Through the years this talent has been the core
of Buccellati’s style. In 1966, Gianmaria Buccellati (1929-2015) with his
brother, Luca, took over the family business after their father's death. Today
the House is led by third- and fourth generation Buccellati, Honorary President
and Creative Director Andrea Buccellati and his daughter, Lucrezia Buccellati
Wildenstein.
Buccellati design is highly recognizable due to multiple engraving
and piercing techniques applied to the pieces. Texture of gold recreating the
look of Venetian lace, linen and tulle created by handmade Italian techniques
inherited through generations.
The world of flora and fauna is a big source of
inspiration for creating famous Buccellati brooches. Weightless Buccellati
butterfly brooch, intricate flowers, or powerful birds — all those pieces are
highly sought-after because of their creativity and impeccable quality.
All the
materials being used by the brand meet the quality standards of high-end
jewelry making. Buccellati cuff bracelets exemplify the brand’s signature
style. Many of those are made using the “rigato” technique. It requires cutting
multiple parallel lines onto the metal surface allowing to create that unique
engraved finish.
About
Italian Jewelry:
Italian Jewelry History - Italian
jewelry style is deeply rooted in the history of the region. The beginning of
it can be marked as far as 700 BC. What we consider today as the Italian style
was impacted by the ancient Greek, Roman and Etruscan cultures.
Italian
jewelry of all time is mostly made of yellow gold. This metal has been favored
the most by Italian makers. In the Etruscan region goldsmiths developed such
processes as alloying and engraving, also the granulation method got perfected
and became a signature.
In
the later Middle Ages, the most sought-after jewelry pieces came from Vicenza
and Florence. During the Renaissance era, the art of jewelry making was as
important as painting and architecture. Later, in the Baroque era, jewelry
design shifted from bold and straight forward pieces to intricate and more
detailed.
Today
Italian jewelry style and look depends on a certain maker. However, “made in
Italy” jewelry always relates to luxurious lifestyle, timeless design, and
exquisite manufacturing.
Italian
makers - So
many great jewelry brands came from Italy, it’s really challenging to mention
just a few. Vhernier, Roberto Coin and of course Bulgari could be the first who come to mind when
we think of the Italian makers.
We
also should mention Carlo Weingrill, a jewelry house
from Verona. Their high-quality pieces have been sought after in the last few
decades. The house has been family owned by four generations of jewelers.
Passing family traditions of workmanship is another
staple of Italian jewelry making. Italian cultural heritage, high-skilled
makers and great quality materials keep going the never-ending popularity of
Italian jewelry.
