Buccellati has become one of the most famous Italian jeweller shops. Starting with a shop in Milan in 1919, Mario Buccellati built an empire which would include boutiques in Rome, Florence and New York by 1954. The firm’s distinctive style and use of innovative goldsmithing techniques provided them with a captive post-war audience, who were eager for colourful and luxurious designs.
