Marco Bicego - Hand Crafted Gold Jewelry with Bulino Technique

Because each jewelry is hand crafted in-house by master goldsmiths, each piece exudes a distinctive quality and signature unique to the brand. And while these master craftsmen work on a predetermined design of each collection, no piece can ever be the same. Just like how one may interpret the piece with their unique skill set, experience, material at hand, history and more within the exact same specifications. Any finished masterpiece is a rarity that cannot be recreated. And little do people know that Marco Bicego Jewels are made with hand selected gemstones, exclusively cut and each stone’s setting is custom made. This is the level of exclusivity that cannot be duplicated.

One of the most unique aspects of Marco Bicego jewelry is in the ‘bulino’ finish of gold. Hundreds of lines are hand-engraved with a ‘bulino’ tool which is an ancient device for carving. A technique that can produce a near photographic realism that cannot be replaced with a machine even in this day and age. This gives each Marco Bicego jewel its finely brushed texture that is recognizable like no other. An example of the collection made with this technique is the ‘Lunaria’ collection.

Another distinctive specialty of Marco Bicego jewelry lies in the ‘hand-twisted coil’, a spiral made of 18K gold that presents a contemporary twist to the collection.

This signature was born out of a ‘happy incident’ where one day in his father’s workshop, a machine malfunctioned and so the gold was twisted. In that very moment a surge of inspiration sparked and Marco Bicego went on to perfect his vision into one of the brand’s most iconic aspects.
