One of the luxury brands whose pieces, both vintage and contemporary, are consistently sought after is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/buccellati\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buccellati<\/a>, which is particularly celebrated for the extraordinary fabric-like textures its founder and namesake, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/mario-buccellati\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mario Buccellati<\/a>, achieved in gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The firm opened its doors in Milan in 1919 when Buccellati was just 28. Inspired by centuries of Italian goldsmithing, he used a variety of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/introspective-magazine\/buccellati-book\/\">historical artisanal engraving techniques<\/a> and soon became known &#8220;for leaving no surface untouched,\u201d says Burns. He was also known for his pride and tenacity. \u201cWhile making his international debut, at the Madrid Exposition in 1920, he became upset with a shopper for requesting a discount and famously shouted &#8216;I am not a tradesman, I am a jeweler.\u2019 &#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/bracelets\/cuff-bracelets\/mario-buccellati-plique-jour-enamel-gold-cuff-bracelet\/id-j_2620253\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"689\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Buccellati-2-950x950-1.jpg\" alt=\"Buccellati cuff\" class=\"wp-image-413814\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Buccellati-2-950x950-1.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Buccellati-2-950x950-1-483x350.jpg 483w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Buccellati-2-950x950-1-120x87.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Buccellati-2-950x950-1-768x557.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/jewelry\/bracelets\/cuff-bracelets\/mario-buccellati-plique-jour-enamel-gold-cuff-bracelet\/id-j_2620253\/\">Mario Buccellati plique-\u00e0-jour enamel and gold cuff bracelet, 20th century <\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Within a decade, Buccellati had opened stores in Rome and Florence and was making complex <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/buccellati\/jewelry\/rings\/\">rings<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/buccellati\/jewelry\/bracelets\/\">bracelets<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/buccellati\/jewelry\/necklaces\/\">necklaces<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/buccellati-compact\/\">compacts<\/a> and more, often inspired by nature, for European royalty and the Vatican.

He would also incorporate a technique known as<em> rigato<\/em>, which translates as &#8220;striped.&#8221;  He used this technique to create a textured, fabric-like finish. This is what gives Buccellati pieces their one-of-a-kind appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5806-1-1-950x769.jpg\" alt=\"Michael Burns, a certified gemologist and second-generation jeweler at Benchmark of Palm Beach\" class=\"wp-image-413741\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5806-1-1-950x769.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5806-1-1-432x350.jpg 432w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5806-1-1-120x97.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5806-1-1-768x622.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5806-1-1.jpg 1112w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Michael Burns, a certified gemologist and second-generation jeweler at Benchmark of Palm Beach<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>What distinguishes Buccellati designs from those of other major jewelry houses, like Cartier or Van Cleef &amp; Arpels?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/cartier\/jewelry\/\">Cartier<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/van-cleef-and-arpels\/jewelry\/\">VCA<\/a> have turned to some incredible designers over the years. Designers such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/aldo-cipullo\/jewelry\/\">Aldo Cipullo<\/a> and Ren\u00e9 Sim Lacaze have designed iconic works for these jewelry houses. The distinction then becomes one of outside design versus tradition. Even though business is now being conducted through the Richemont Group, the design cues still come from the Buccellati family members, who take great pride in the traditions of their craftsmanship and namesake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do vintage Buccellati designs differ from contemporary ones?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vintage Buccellati designs are more similar to newer designs than one might think.

Authentic Buccellati pieces only use certified gemstones. Counterfeiters often use methods and materials that are cheaper \u2014 like gold plating \u2014 and result in poor quality or even asymmetrical designs.  But for the more detailed fake, the appearance might be so similar that only a trained eye can catch whatever clue was missed by the counterfeiter. The markings on a Buccellati piece can be rudimentary in comparison to those of some other high-jewelry designers. However, sometimes, as with other forgeries, it is understanding their idiosyncratic nature that allows you to recognize the fake from the authentic.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"interstitial-banner interstitial-banner-collection interstitial-container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-background-image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Buccellati-cuff-1000x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-interstitial size-interstitial\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container interstitial-text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"interstitial-link-around-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/buccellati\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tEXPLORE BUCCELLATI JEWELRY \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-subheading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"gold-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/buccellati\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>Shop All<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Tastes have changed with consumers over the years, but confidence in luxury-branded items remains strong,\u201d says Michael Burns, a certified gemologist and second-generation jeweler at Benchmark of Palm Beach.
