Mario Buccellati Vintage Necklace 18k Gold Coral Bead Multi-strand Diamond
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
A stunning Mario Buccellati coral bead necklace featuring a diamond and 18k gold ornate clasp. This vintage Buccellati necklace is composed of ten coral strands with the beads of irregular sizes. The strands are bundled together by the gold barrel shape clasp. The clasp is a true piece of art portraying Buccellati’s best practices. It’s made of amazingly textured 18 karat yellow and white gold with a detailed floral design. The white gold leaves are adorned with rose cut diamonds. This clasp with a box closure can be worn upfront as a pendant.
With coral getting extremely rare, this Buccellati coral necklace is a beautiful piece and a great investment as well.
This fabulous multi-strand coral bead necklace was created by Mario Buccellati in Italy in the 1950's. It features ten strands of Mediterranean coral connected with a diamond and an 18 karat yellow and white gold clasp. The necklace has a lot of volume and can be worn with the clasp either on the back (more casual look) or on front/side (dressier look). It can be also worn as a bracelet. The coral beads measure from 5.5 - 4.6 mm to 2.9 - 2.4 mm.
The vintage necklace measures 24" x ¾” (60 x 2 cm). The clasp measures 1-1/8" x 1" (3 x 2.5 cm).
The necklace measures 158.5 grams.
It is stamped with Mario Buccellati maker's mark, hallmark for 18 karat gold and country of manufacture.
Mario Buccellati (1891-1965) established the first brand’s store in Milan in 1919. He was titled “the Prince of Goldsmiths” by poet Gabriele D’Annunzio because of an extraordinary ability to turn gold and silver into luxury art objects. This ability through the years has been the core of Buccellati’s style.
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...

Mario Buccellati Two Tone 18 Karat Gold Bracelet
Located in Brisbane, QLD
We are very excited to present this wonderful handcrafted bracelet by Mario Buccellati. The two tone bracelet consists of woven gold ovals of alternating 18 karat yellow and 18 karat white gold that has been woven or braided. The interlocked links have then been very finely brushed to give a softer matte finish which could be described as a Florentine finish. The bracelet features a tongue and box clasp and two figure of eight safety catches which are all incorporated into an integrated link clasp. The clasp and safety catches are working well and are secure, ensuring the piece stays on tightly with three points of attachment. Whilst this bracelet is on the smaller side in terms of its circumference it certainly makes up for that in its quality craftsmanship by arguably Italy's most highly regarded goldsmith, Mario Buccellati. Whilst it is hard to give a precise date for its manufacture it is likely to date to the late 20th Century. An exceptional piece of Italian gold jewellery...

Diamond Rings, Luxury Watches and Other Antique and Vintage Fine Jewelry and Estate Jewelry on 1stDibs
Our love for diamond rings, luxury watches and other antique and vintage fine jewelry and estate jewelry goes back thousands of years.
Jewelry has long been a symbol of spiritual strength, wealth or power and, of course, a means of personal expression. While materials and processes employed by the world’s most popular jewelry houses — Tiffany & Co., Cartier, BVLGARI and others — have evolved over time, humans still gravitate toward many of the same accessories that our ancestors wore.
Ancient Egyptians were often hard at work designing jewelry and adorning themselves with an array of necklaces, rings and other items, and nearly every Egyptian, rich or poor, was buried with some kind of jewelry. When King Tut’s burial chamber was excavated, it revealed a sense of style that inspired Art Deco jewelry designs.
Brooches and pins remain essentials in our jewelry boxes, although we no longer require them to fasten our garments, as was once their primary use. Rings, which have always been signifiers of eternity, still serve as romantic gifts and tokens of affection. Engagement rings are still widely recognized as symbols of love and commitment — and as it can be difficult to choose the right one, explore our buying guides for a close look at antique engagement rings, Art Deco engagement rings and vintage engagement rings. [Fun fact: It wasn’t until the 14th century that we learned how to effectively cut diamonds, a critical step in revealing the stone’s brilliance.]
Hoop earrings are imbued with symbolism and cultural significance for many, and on view in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Ancient Near Eastern Art Gallery is a pair of simple gold hoops from Mesopotamia dating to between 2600 and 2500 B.C. We’ve even created our own new, sacred symbols — the Cartier Love bracelet, for example, with its distinctive locking mechanism, is an understated and modernist symbol of love’s promise (with its own captivating history to boot). And, crafted by French jeweler Jacques Arpels of Van Cleef & Arpels, the Magic Alhambra necklace channels luck for the wearer with its universally adored design, which is informed by four-leaf clovers, a plant synonymous with good fortune.
Whether it’s our sentimental charm jewelry, costume jewelry, chunky retro bracelets or minimalist earrings created by the likes of contemporary designers WHITE/SPACE and Agmes, luxurious jewels can elevate any outfit, regardless of your personal style.
