How a 100‑Year‑Old Jewelry House Turned Lace Into Metal

Explore the artistry of Buccellati, a century‑old Italian jewelry house known for translating silk‑ and lace‑inspired textures into metal through extraordinary craftsmanship, with Uni Kim, Head of Sales of Sotheby's Jewellery in Hong Kong.

A rare 1920s diamond ring reveals the origins of Mario Buccellati’s vision — shaped by Venetian lace, natural motifs, and refined engraving techniques. The story later resonates across cultures with Anita Mui, who wore a custom‑made Buccellati pearl set during her symbolic “Married the Stage” performance.

A journey through craftsmanship, history, and meaning — where metal is shaped to feel alive.

All the Buccellati pieces are offered in the upcoming Hong Kong High Jewelry Sale on 23 April, 2026.

The Hong Kong Luxury Week is presented by Standard Chartered Priority Private.
