History
Founding in 1919
The early history of the family business of Buccellati begins with Contargo Buccellati, father of Mario Buccellati, working as a goldsmith in Milan. At the age of 12, Mario Buccellati apprenticed with a highly reputed jewelry shop in Milan, Beltrami & Beltrami. Mario took over the company in 1919 and renamed it Buccellati. In the same year, he opened his first boutique located in Milan on Via degli Orefici.
Mario exhibited his wares for the first time in the 1920 Jewelry Exposition in Madrid. His collection was a big hit and completely sold out. After his success in Madrid, he was invited back for a solo show, where the royal family and Spanish Aristocrats became his lifelong clients and fervent supporters. less
