Beautifully crafted and distinctly Buccellati, this 18K yellow gold brooch captures the elegance of nature through exceptional artistry. The pin is shaped as a delicately veined leaf, its surface adorned with the Maison’s celebrated segrinato engraving that gives the gold a soft and realistic texture.

Resting upon the leaf is a spider rendered from a 7.60-carat baroque cultured pearl, its organic form perfectly suited to the creature’s body. Two ruby eyes, totaling 0.05 carat, complete the design. Each golden leg and pedipalp is intricately chased, demonstrating the meticulous craftsmanship that defines Buccellati’s finest works.

Mario Buccellati, founder of the storied Italian Maison, is revered for his distinctive aesthetic rooted in Renaissance influences, natural motifs and exceptional hand-engraving techniques. He was an exacting artisan who studied and revived ancient goldsmithing, resolving to leave no jewelry piece with “untouched gold.”

Buccellati's leaf jewels are among his most iconic designs, frequently produced as one-of-a-kind treasures. This brooch, sold in 1969 at Buccellati’s Fifth Avenue boutique, reflects his hallmark style, an inspired marriage of sculptural form, texture, and rare materials such as baroque pearls. Today, Mario Buccellati’s creations remain highly collectible for their unparalleled craftsmanship and unmistakable identity.
