Buccellati Opera Earrings,6 motifs, white mother of pearls

Opera is inspired by Italian Renaissance culture: the idea of absolute symmetry as expressed by the flower, which is both its symbol and a recurring motif, and the typical repetition of a decorative motif to create pleasing visual effects. This makes Opera a work of art, like the rest of Buccellati’s production, whose origins can be found in the Renaissance masterpieces scattered all over Italy.

This item features an elegant triple floral drop construction in the mother of pearl.

Buccellati Opera Earrings Makri Classica

Inspired by the Renaissance culture, Buccellati’s Opera earrings feature a carved mother-of-pearl logo element, yellow gold central link, and round mother-of-pearl beads. The six motifs of the ‘Macri Classica’ pair were created using the same design elements that are repeated throughout the entire Buccellati Opera Earrings collection. Originally, these designs can be found in works of art scattered throughout Italy.

Buccellati’s ‘Vintage Collection’ celebrates its centennial

The new ‘Vintage Collection’ from Buccellati marks the Italian jeweler’s centennial. The collection is composed of more than 200 pieces, handpicked from the Buccellati family archives. During the October Sotheby’s auction in Paris, sixteen of these pieces will be auctioned. The collection will feature original pieces made by Buccellati as well as replicas.

Design of Buccellati’s Opera Collection

The design of Buccellati’s Opera collection has been honed over four generations. While incorporating traditional Italian techniques into contemporary styles, Buccellati has also refined some of the rarest artisanal techniques. For example, the Opera Tulle collection takes the opulent damasks and Venetian laces and reinterprets them in an updated manner. Featuring the Buccellati house logo and a sautoir design, this line is a perfect choice for androgynous styling.

Inspiration for Buccellati’s designs

Inspired by Italian Renaissance architecture, the buccellati opera collection combines fine winding lines and balanced shapes for a unique style. Each piece is named after an Italian composer or opera house, and the brand has been in business for more than a century. Originally a small family business, Buccellati expanded to a worldwide brand in the 1970s and opened stores in Hong Kong, Japan, and Monte Carlo. Today, the Buccellati family business is led by Andrea Buccellati and his daughter Lucretzia. While the Buccellati name is synonymous with elegance and quality, each piece is designed with the same craftsmanship and attention to detail as the jewelry pieces in the Buccellati opera collection.
