Two-Tone Gold and Pearl Necklace by Buccellati

This two-tone 18K gold and pearl necklace by the celebrated Italian designer Buccellati is crafted in a stunning leaf motif that falls gracefully around the neck. Nineteen natural pearls hang from their 18K white and yellow gold setting, their nonuniform quality enhancing the organic, whimsical feel of this creation.

Combining classic style with contemporary design, Buccellati is known for its unique and artful approach to jewelry. The firm’s founder, Mario Buccellati, was an exacting artisan who studied and revived ancient goldsmithing and engraving techniques, resolving to leave no jewelry piece with “untouched gold.” Deeply inspired by Italian history and tradition, he meticulously crafted his jewelry by hand out of only the finest precious materials, and his design approach led to his becoming one of the most accomplished and famous Italian jewelry designers in history.
