Every sect or master who can dominate the Wulin has his own unique skills. Buccellati's goal is to weave patterns and carve gold. New york Luxury Research and Investigation Institute has conducted a survey on the "Luxury Value Index" of 20 top jewelry brands among high-end consumers. The results show that Buhrati won the glory of Gemmolong, Bulgari, De Beers, Earl, Tiffany and Van Cleef & Arpels, and occupied the top three positions with Harry Winston and Cartier respectively.
The birthplace of Jinyi family
When it comes to the legendary Italian jewelry brand Buccellati, people pay more attention to ancient crafts. 198 1 year, the Italian president awarded Buhrati "Giant Cross Warrior" in recognition of his art of developing jewelry technology to the extreme. Weaving lace with gold can be said to be the ultimate combination of luxury, romance and sexiness, just like the sea breeze from Sicily, which is refreshing.
Mario Buccellati founded Buccellati brand in 19 19, but it did not exist in 19 19. Buccellati family brand appeared in historical records from 1758 a long time ago.
Mario Buchirati liked and was good at drawing when he was a child. /kloc-When he was 0/4 years old, he was introduced and began to learn from Bethlem, the most famous goldsmith in Milan.
Unlike many jewelry workshops, bertram only trains craftsmen. His cultivation of Mario is more like cultivating an artist with excellent aesthetics. Bertram, who was passionate about the Renaissance, also deeply influenced Mario's aesthetic taste.
Renaissance jewelry
19 19, bertram died and left the jewelry store to his beloved-Mario.
In the same year, Mario took over the family business, opened the first jewelry store between Milan Cathedral and Scala Opera House, and hung the signboard of "Mario Bujilati".
Galxiele DArniunzio, a famous Italian poet and playwright, praised Mario Buccellati as "Prince Goldsmith", which perfectly linked jewelry art with Italian Renaissance history.
A good time to weave dreams.
Mario has a good understanding. He restored the weaving and golden carving techniques popular in the Renaissance but lost for more than 400 years. Later, "weaving gold and carving gold" became Buqilati's unique technology. Naturally, he was particularly keen on poetry, which laid the foundation for his later works and was full of romantic artistic atmosphere.
The pile of gorgeous gems is interwoven with gold and silver as light as gauze, and its noble, elegant, exquisite and transparent shape immediately sensationalized the European royal family. Royal nobles from Spain, Belgium and even Egypt came to order, and even the Pope of the Vatican became a customer of Buhrati.
"Weaving and carving gold" is a gold carving technique used by goldsmiths in the Renaissance, and it has gradually disappeared. The craftsmen in Buchilati used several ancient and special knives to carve and weave patterns, giving gold and silver the best ductility and plasticity.
Weaving and carving gold, as its name implies, is to present the effect of fabric on the surface of metal by carving metal, bringing shocking aesthetic feeling!
Unique craft tradition.
Every piece of Buqilati jewelry embodies the efforts of artists and craftsmen. Buqilati has beautiful fragments of art and nature that people yearn for, each of which is unique and irreplaceable.
"Craftsman spirit" is the cornerstone of Buqilati's survival and development. Buqilati's jewelry and silverware are made by experienced craftsmen in workshops. They were trained in unique traditional skills. Many of them are descendants of craftsmen who worked with the founder Mario at that time. Buqilati's iconic "gold-woven and carved" ring takes 4-6 months to complete. Similarly, the processing of bracelets and necklaces also takes 2-3 years.
Today, this artistic creation project is jointly completed by more than 70 Italian craftsmen. They strictly adhere to the manual completion of all processes, including the final drawing, hollowing out and punching, cutting and polishing, and all the production procedures are completely meticulous by hand. A slight mistake will start the whole work again. Moreover, in order to ensure the best balance between strength and beauty, Buhrati has always adhered to almost strict quality inspection procedures to ensure the perfection of every product.
1, Modellato (honeycomb forming process)
Modellato, also known as lace craft, is inspired by the lace fabrics of the Renaissance.
This process requires craftsmen to punch holes in the gold sheet first, and then use extremely fine metal wires to pass through the holes, and through repeated rubbing, fine honeycomb shapes are carved.
Skillful craftsmen accurately carve hexagons on the jewelry surface through skilled craftsmanship, form a dense grid on the jewelry surface, and finally embed gems in the grid.
Honeycomb modeling made by Modellato technology is the most representative classic of weaving and golden carving technology.
This kind of modeling has extremely high requirements for craftsmen. A little carelessness, excessive force or angle deviation will lead to the whole work being wasted.
In addition to Modellato, another representative is Segrinato (velvet effect) process.
2. Velvet effect
Craftsmen use shovels to manually shovel fine textures on the metal surface, resulting in a velvet-like texture, and the visual effect is mild and low-key. Jewelry based on Segrinato technology is a classic style of Buqilati.
In detail, artisans in Bucherati often use Riato (trimming texture), Telato (gold thread spiral) and Ornato (metal micro-carving) to carve exquisite patterns on metal, which makes the whole jewelry full and exquisite.
3. Rigato (trimming texture)
Rigato (trimming texture) is a common way to cut the edge of jewelry. The craftsman painted parallel textures on the metal surface to highlight the heavy feeling of jewelry. The delicate texture gives jewelry a tulle-like texture.
This technique usually appears on jewelry together with other golden carving techniques.
4. Tirato (gold thread spiral)
Telato (gold thread spiral) is a fine three-dimensional manufacturing process, and the manufacturing process is complicated. First, twist a few cast gold wires into hemp rope.
Then put the twisted hemp rope into a special modeling mold for post-processing.
Finally, the formed hemp rope is woven or stacked by hand.
The effect presented in this way is far better than using machine micro-carving, and the texture is more three-dimensional and fine.
5. Metal micro-carving process
Ornato (metal micro-carving process) is an extremely complicated and delicate process. By carefully carving on the metal surface, extremely realistic textures are produced. Jewelry made by this metal micro-carving process can perfectly restore the surface texture and shape of all things in nature, which is more realistic and smart.
For example, this silver maple leaf, using metal micro-carving technology, carved an extremely delicate texture on the metal surface, using the contrast between surface texture and luster, makes the maple leaf more three-dimensional and more agile.
This bracelet also uses Ornato technology to create a floral texture on the metal surface, making the whole series look soft and greasy.
In addition to the carvings of these gold and silver wares, Buqilati also has many animal-shaped silverware. These silverware are not carved, but silver threads are stacked layer by layer, which finally presents the texture of animal plush.
Continue the noble artistic blood.

As Maria Cristina, the third generation descendant of Bou Cerati, said, "The connotation of Bou Cerati is a strong Renaissance trend of thought. Our jewelry never shows off, not to make her look richer. We don't need jewelry to touch the hearts of the rich. "

For Buqilati, the word "beauty" can not only describe appearance, but also express admiration for class, style and harmonious life itself.
From manuscript to polishing, Buchirati insists that every step is handmade, which makes a well-crafted jewelry look precious.
This is not sticking to tradition and not thinking about change, but a kind of inheritance and a tribute. For craftsmen, machines should be their own assistants, not stumbling blocks to exercise skills.
