The Queen Bracelet

From the high jewellery collection of Buccellati, and reminiscent of the lavish lifestyle of Queen Victoria and her reign, the Vittoria bracelet exudes opulence and elegance.

As with any revered jewellery house, Buccellati’s creations are distinctive and immediately recognisable to collectors in the know. Even those who are not familiar with the brand will find it easy to identify its signature style once acquainted with its works. Deeply rooted in Buccellati’s brand heritage and identity are artisanal Florentine metalworking techniques as well as intricate and sensual designs heavily influenced by Renaissance classicism and antiquity. Together, they create a very unique, vibrant and unmistakably original aesthetic. Indeed, it would be very difficult to counterfeit or imitate these pieces. The reasons are to be found in the jeweller’s multiple traditional hand-engraving techniques, which are so precise and complex that even modern-day machines can’t replicate them.

Made of both white and yellow gold, the Vittoria bracelet is a cascade of diamonds mounted on a flexible band naturally draping a woman’s wrist thanks to its special links, a Buccellati exclusive that has often been copied by other designers, but never quite mastered because of the superior craftsmanship required. Buccellati has thus been able to recreate grace and harmony by combining engravings and motifs that have made it a household name worldwide • [A.P.]
