Founded in 1919 by Mario Buccellati in Milan at Via Santa Margherita 5 after World War I, Buccellati represents the pinnacle of Italian goldsmithing. The house is renowned for its distinctive tulle (honeycombing) and rigato (silk engraving) techniques that transform gold into textile-like textures. Tulle, which made Mario Buccellati globally famous, involves piercing gold sheets with a hacksaw to create intricate polygonal holes resembling fabric. Rigato consists of fine parallel lines that create a silky sheen reminiscent of textile weaves. All Buccellati jewelry is designed and crafted in Italy, where artisans train for years to master these traditional techniques passed down through generations. In 2016, Richemont acquired Buccellati, ensuring the continuation of its artisanal heritage.
Italy offers up to 15.5% VAT refunds on purchases over €70.01, making Milan one of the best cities globally for luxury jewelry. Buccellati's Italian heritage means shopping in Milan provides access to the full collection and the brand's historic roots.
