techniques they use for the placement of gemstones on the jewelry and their
style of gemstone choice are what gave the brand its prestige.
The
“Mystery Set” technique they developed and took the patent for in 1933 gives
the brand its uniqueness. As stated in Van Cleef & Arpels website, “[t]he
level of expertise required makes Mystery Set the exclusive realm of a very
small number of master jewelers.” The technique requires hours and hours of
work for the completion of just one piece.
This
technique enables the gemstones to be seen at the highest level and does not
allow any prongs to be seen. The brand specializes and owes its fame to the Mystery
Set technique.
As for its
themes, the brand was highly inspired by nature itself. The simplicity and
amazing figures of nature form the structure of their jewelry pieces. Birds,
bugs, flowers and other natural figures were metaphorically used in the pieces.

high-end jewelry brand Buccellati is famous for its impressive success in creating
unique motifs on gold. The brand works on the gold material as if lacing, with
a very detailed and high-quality craftsmanship. Another expertise of the brand
is the pieces which involve gold and silver together.
Mario
Buccellati opened his first jewelry shop in Milan in 1919, starting the journey
of a brand which will be world-famous in years. The family business bloomed,
and they became experts on gemstones in Italy. In 1973, Gianmaria Buccellati,
son of Mario, founded the Italian Gemological Institute with his colleagues and
acted as the president for 25 years.
Buccellati
is associated with high-quality Italian gold. Inspired by their Roman history,
the Italian brand uses the style of the Roman Empire era on their jewelry
pieces. They boldly use detailed motifs on their designs, along with the
precious materials of gold and in their matt states. The brand is very high-brow
with the artistic usage of shades and textures in their jewelry pieces.
The Italian
brand generally works bracelets and cuffs with lace-like details in Roman
style. Also, the brand has a unique technique of using materials in their matt
shade and brushing, which gives the jewelry sense of fabric. These designs are
made with a mixture of gold and silver.

uses Italian gold in a very Italian-elegant way. The designs are often inspired
by animals and insects, unlike other gold jewelers who use flowers. Dragonflies
and beetles are the most popular inspirations of the brand.
The artsy
works of the brand have been placed in many auctions and museums as pieces of
art throughout the years. Especially the Roman-inspired pieces were considered
as art pieces rather than jewelry. With the “Timeless Blue” project, which consists
of 5 collections of jewelry inspired by impressionist and post-impressionist
paintings, the brand still remains to be closer to an artistic perspective,
rather than commercial jewelry making.

the times. In the 20s and 30s, the brand’s collections were full of the cocktail

The Meaning of The Jewelry
Jewelry
pieces represent beauty and prestige. They seem like simple pieces to complete
outfits and reflect people’s personality. The beauty of the pieces undoubtedly
impresses people; the shine, materials, colors, gemstones represent the beauty
of them. Many people wear jewelry pieces for these reasons.
On the
other hand, the meaning of jewelry, or wearing a certain piece from a jewelry
brand represents way more than beauty. The sentimental and social meanings of
the pieces enable people to define their families, social status and wealth in
many occasions. Especially, upper-class families, celebrities, royalty, and
iconic people choose their jewelry accordingly.
Prestige
It is a
fact that the prestige of the brand and the piece must align with the person
who wears it. While some brands are more contemporary, some are classy and preferred
by royalty and aristocrats. Those brands are worn for their prestige, no matter
how high their value is.
As we can
see in the histories of famous jewelers, possessing particular prized and large
diamonds or other gemstones is a way to put one’s name on history books. Many
of the historical brands owe their fame to these gemstones.
The
prestige of the jewelry comes from many parameters. However, the brand or the
jeweler’s name is the most important one. Knowing that certain brands use
certain high-quality diamonds, for example, people wearing those brands reflect
their status in the society.
Commitment
Commitment
has a very big role in our lives, especially for a special occasion such as marriage
proposal, engagement or wedding. Jewelry is the most important symbol of the
value of these days.
You can see
in collections of luxurious brands that many of them give a place especially
for rings made for these days. For example, Tiffany & Co.’s proposal ring
became a symbol and desire for young women from their prospective husbands.
The jewelry
that accompanies these days play an important role and a very high sentimental
value. People want to carry a precious piece to represent the happy days of
their lives as a signature. Also, iconic people who gave their prospective
spouses a proposal ring from a brand, make that brand prestigious, too.
Family Gifts
Birthdays of
loved ones, wedding anniversaries, baby shower gifts and many more represent
the love we have in our hearts to our family and friends. Jewelry is also a
part of that. The sentimental value of the jewelry gifts becomes so much more
than an expensive piece of stone and precious metals.
For
example, the little bracelets given to babies become a great memory when that
