The exhibition explores how jewelry and ornamentation have defined male roles, status, and identity across the centuries, from the eighteenth century to the present day.
Through its participation, Buccellati underscores its commitment to celebrating the refinement and aesthetic sensibility that have always characterized its creations, offering pieces that embody a discreet yet powerful elegance, symbols of charisma and expressions of individuality.
At the beginning of the exhibition, Buccellati presents a selection of creations that highlight the Maison’s long-standing tradition in men’s jewelry and accessories.
The correspondence between Gabriele d’Annunzio and Mario Buccellati reveals a series of refined pieces designed in the early 20th century for the distinguished guests of the Vittoriale, including cufflinks, tie clips, boxes, and cigarette cases.
Notable works include silver and mother-of-pearl cufflinks from the 1930s and a silver box from 1929 engraved with the motto “Io ho quel che ho donato.”
The exhibition concludes with a contemporary perspective, featuring the evolution of Buccellati’s iconic Macri line, which since the 1980s has reinterpreted masculine elegance through a distinctive and timeless design language.
The Macri line has preserved its unique identity over time, defined by the signature rigato and ornato engraving techniques, establishing it as a symbol of refinement and modernity for the contemporary man.
These icons of Buccellati style, together with historic creations, demonstrate how the Maison’s men’s jewelry and accessories have always been conceived to enhance the wearer’s personality, remaining faithful to an aesthetic that seamlessly blends tradition and innovation.
