Buccellati gets ready for the virtual catwalks of 2021 by presenting
new amazing creations that highlight the brand’s savoir-faire and
its century-old goldsmithing traditions.
and openwork patterns, still hand-crafted today
as in 1919, when the Maison was founded
in Milan.
Andrea Buccellati, Creative Director at Buccellati,
is imposing his elegant taste and vision
to jewels, culminating in the “Polvere
di Luna” (Moon powder) set, composed of a
super-light necklace with matching cocktail
pendant earrings. While the flexible bracelet
with the same design stands out as a jewel
apart, a unique and precious work of art, the
result of hours and hours of manual drilling
and hand-engraving.
Surely one of the most iconic piece of jewellery
from the brand, theBuccellati cuff bracelets
enchant with their innovative designs.
BBuccellati is a renowned high-end
jewellery brand, admired for its craftsmanship
and the uniqueness of its
creations. Distinctive in the use of rare
stones with extraordinary colours,
mixed with white and yellow gold, all
nicely carved like laces. Today, the
Buccellati jewels stand out for their
design and for the techniques used to
create them, such as the hand-engraving
technique, dating back to the ancient
goldsmith traditions of the Italian
“bottega” during the Renaissance times.
The shapes of the collections are all inspired
by the historical archive drawings
as well as the very first creations
of the founder, Mario Buccellati.
Like a pioneer in preserving the most
refined techniques, Buccellati’s offering
for this year is based on honeycomb
The “Ortensia” bracelet recalls the colour and
gentleness of the hydrangea, it being so imperfectly
spherical and so delicately coloured,
while the “Honey-heart” bracelet proposes a
sun-like motif centring a delicate and light
honeycomb motif.
Cocktail rings are among the most sought-after
Buccellati jewels. The ones conceived for
the Haute Couture 2021 are innovative and impressive.
The “Passione” cocktail ring is dominated
by a large faceted tourmaline, sparkling
with all its beauty contoured by small white
gold leaves set with diamonds. The “Monte Bianco”
ring pushes its round pearl up like a mountaintop
featuring a geometric and modern decoration
all around the bezel and along the stem.
TLN Qatar editor’s picks are the “Aubade”
cocktail earrings which evokes the sweetness
of a morning love song: an openwork, refined
and elegant background enlightened by rubies,
while the “Foglie Imperiali” earrings remind
us of those important laurel crowns the
kings and queens wore in their institutional
paintings. Alas, royalty in the 21st century.
