A love of tradition set Mario Buccellati and his fine jewelry house apart in the competitive Italian market and remains a point of pride for the family.
In 1919, Mario launched Buccellati with the opening of his first shop in Milan and quickly built a reputation for his richly embellished traforato, or finely pierced goldwork. The Ancona, Italy–born jeweler’s workmanship was in a class of its own. His rings, earrings, bracelets and other accessories were exquisite, yet the gemstones themselves were never too flashy, elevated instead by the designs’ intricate metalsmithing.
Today the Buccellati family is still closely tied to the business even as it is now owned by Richemont, a luxury conglomerate that also counts Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels among its subsidiaries.
A young Mario Buccellati apprenticed with famed goldsmith Beltrami e Besnati in the early 1900s, although many of the goldsmithing techniques synonymous with Buccellati go as far back as the Italian Renaissance. The family lineage is also said to include 18th-century jeweler Contardo Buccellati.
Owing to the founder’s advanced metalworking skills, the brand is known for designs that feature metal with the delicacy of lace and draw on the wonders of the natural world. The house’s work is typified by intricate gemstone settings that emphasize their natural color and dense engraving techniques that transform the texture of gold.
One of the time-honored engraving techniques that has come to characterize Buccellati’s work — techniques that require apprenticeships and training in the fine jeweler’s workshops — is called rigato. It involves the engraving of a precious metal with a series of parallel lines to achieve a fabric-like effect.
Rigato is on luminous display in the house’s Macri collection of earrings, cuff bracelets and other accessories. A painstaking attention to detail is pronounced in the celebrated Macri, Bartolomeo and Unica collections — witness the striking honeycomb motif, a house signature, that characterizes the Unica collection’s Caterina bracelet, for example.
The Macri collection was the work of Mario’s son, Gianmaria Buccellati, an award-winning jeweler and internationally renowned silversmith who worked to bring the brand to the global stage by overseeing the opening of boutiques in Tokyo, Paris, California and elsewhere.
In 1951, Mario opened his first store in New York City; today the company operates boutiques worldwide. In 2019, the company celebrated its centennial with a new flagship in Paris and the Vintage collection, which features some of its most enduring designs.

Mario Buccellati Ring Vintage Coral Silver Gold Estate Jewelry
By Mario Buccellati
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
A Mario Buccellati ring featuring coral, mounted in silver with gold accents. This vintage Buccellati ring centers around an oval-shaped cabochon coral. The coral is bezel set in gold and framed by a raised silver surround that features Buccellati’s signature openwork leaf motif. This intricate texture features small gold bead accents placed around the border. The band is wide and tapers underneath, with just enough weight to balance the size of the setting without feeling bulky. This Buccellati ring, with its tactile metalwork, draws attention to the coral as the centerpiece. It’s a vintage design with a quietly strong presence that does not need to compete for attention. The vintage ring is made of sterling silver, 18 karat yellow gold and features an oval cabochon coral. The coral measures approximately 23.2 x 15.4 x 9.9 mm and weighs approximately 25.3 carats. This vintage coral ring measures 1 1/4" x 1" x 5/8" (3.3 x 2.4 x x 2.2 x 1.5 cm) and weighs 23.5 grams. The ring is size 6.25-6.5 and can be resized. The ring is stamped with Mario Buccellati maker's mark, hallmark for sterling silver. 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 the 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...
