Gianmaria Buccellati Diamond Ring, 1950s
This exquisite ring was crafted by Gianmaria Buccellati, a celebrated figure in the renowned Buccellati family jewelry house of Italy. Known as “the prince of goldsmiths,” Gianmaria revolutionized the art of jewelry making with innovative techniques and personalized designs, often incorporating uncut stones and tailoring pieces to suit the wearer.
A hallmark of Buccellati’s artistry is the meticulous gold texturing known as “rigato,” created by engraving fine parallel lines into the metal with a burin. This signature technique gives the gold a soft, fabric-like texture, lending the piece a velvety, tactile quality that is both understated and distinct.
This 18k gold and diamond ring is a testament to Buccellati’s unparalleled craftsmanship, featuring a design that is elegant yet impactful.
