What to know about Buccellati

Hand-engraving makes gold look woven

Rigato, telato, segrinato and ornato engraving textures the metal so gold reads like fabric or lace, seen in the honeycomb tulle openwork and Macri cuffs.

Silver table pieces, not only jewelry

Alongside rings and cuffs the house makes flatware, animal-form silver centrepieces and jewelled watches, continuing its original silversmithing work.

High jewellery, boutique-only, Richemont-backed

Prices sit at true high-jewellery level, sold through directly operated boutiques in Europe, the US and Asia, with Richemont as owner since 2019.
