This 18k two-tone gold ring consists of a white-gold band with a yellow-gold sculptural frieze along the rim, which depicts fruits and foliage. This type of ring was traditionally worn as a wedding ring, with the fruits symbolizing the hope of a fruitful, opulent marriage.
Buccellati is one of the most renowned Italian jewellery house and was founded by Mario Buccellati in 1909. They use centuries-old Italian techniques to create their jewellery designs, which are always completely executed and by hand. Each Buccellati piece is uniquely engraved as a mark of the artisans’ meticulous hand-craftsmanship. In 1965, the company was handed down to his Mario's three sons, of which Federico operated from Rome and Milan. Currently, the house is still in operation and is currently directed by Federico's three children, Lorenzo, Rodolfo, and Benedetta.
