Is an Italian jewellery designer that lives between London and New York City and is the first female to lead her family's jewelry company. Bucci is the 4th generation in her family line of jewelers, which began when her great-grandfather, Ferdinando Bucci, opened a workshop in Florence, Italy, specialising in the sale and repair of gentleman's pocket watches. He eventually began to make bespoke gold chains to accessorize his clients timepieces, and from there he moved into the production of fine jewellery. His son, Fosco, took over the business in 1920, by which point they had gained success across Italy, and moved the showroom to Piazza Santo Stefano, next to Florence's Ponte Vecchio. After the Second World War, her father grew the business internationally, particularly in the US and Japan, whilst continuing to anchor the manufacture of the jewellery in the family's Florentine workshops. Following her graduation from FIT where she studied fine arts and jewellery design, Bucci returned to Florence where she launched her first collections: "Lucky", a reinvention of the friendship bracelets she made as a child, '‘Woven’', a reinvention of centuries-old Florentine textile looms to weave gold and silk threads. She followed those up with her ‘Florentine Finish’ as seen on Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Frosted Gold...
