In 1919, Mario Buccellati, who was named the "Prince of Goldsmiths" by the poet Gabriele d'Annunzio, created a fine jewelry business that has remained loyal to its origins. From the father Mario, to the son Gianmaria, to the grandson Andrewa, the techniques of a bygone age have been preserved in order to give rare stones and precious materials the attention they deserve. All three have been endowed with great drawing skills. In a hundred-year-old tradition, the Buccellati style is one of fine jewelry that crosses an intangible line to become a work of art: unique pieces that seem to have come straight out of the Middle Ages or the Renaissance.
About the Author: Vincent-Emmanuel Ragot holds degrees in law and art history. He is a specialist in ancient jewelry and Asian art. He began his career working at auction houses in China and Korea.
