Buccellati was founded in Milan in 1919, and from the start Mario Buccellati revived Renaissance goldsmithing techniques — hand-engraving gold so it took on the look of woven silk, linen or lace. The Macri line carries that signature into a clean, contemporary cuff, often finished with a single turquoise.
What is the Macri collection?
The signature is hand-engraved textured gold — Buccellati's rigato (fine parallel lines) and segrinato (cross-hatch) work — shaped into cuffs, bangles, rings and earrings, many set with a turquoise cabochon (the "Macri Classica") or coloured stones. It is made in 18ct yellow and white gold, sometimes with diamonds. Genuine Buccellati is signed Buccellati, marked 750 and numbered, with crisp hand engraving.
What drives the value

Solid 18ct gold; the weight sets a strong floor, and cuffs carry real metal.
Craft & stones
Hand engraving, turquoise or diamonds lift value well above the metal alone.
Box & papers
Original Buccellati box and certificate add value and reassure on authenticity.
Condition
Crisp engraving, bright gold, intact stone, no heavy dents or wear.
