Opera brings Buccellati's centuries-old goldsmithing into a cleaner, more graphic register. It frames discs and tubular segments of black onyx and white mother-of-pearl in the house's signature hand-engraved gold, often with a small diamond — a colour-blocked, contemporary look that's still unmistakably Buccellati.
What is the Opera collection?
The signature is hand-engraved gold framing onyx and mother-of-pearl — in tubular, disc and ring forms (Opera Tulle, Opera Color) — across bracelets, rings, earrings, pendants and bangles, usually with a small diamond accent. It is made in 18ct yellow and white gold. Genuine Buccellati is signed Buccellati, marked 750 and numbered, with crisp hand engraving.
