Founded in 1919, this shop has been in Via Monte Napoleone since the 1960s. Mario Buccellati created what is known as the Buccellati style: a technique that requires coordinated and creative teamwork design in order to obtain the lacy, delicate look of its valuable jewels, each of which is individually designed for its future owner. Buccellati has also gained a reputation as a silversmith creating an extraordinary world of lifelike animals.
