The delicate craftsmanship of the jeweller rarely finds a better expression than the pieces produced by the Milan company Buccellati. A large number of such high-carat items by this remarkable manufacturer, all from European aristocratic collections, will feature at the upcoming Jewellery auction in Vienna Dorotheum on 19th October 2017.
 
Diamonds and gemstones in delicate settings, reminiscent of tulle and delicate damask, are the trademark of this exclusive Italian jeweller. A pair of ear pendants set with brilliants (ca. 6 ct) and emeralds (ca. 3,30 ct) are expected to bring in 16,000 to 20,000 Euros while a delicately worked ring is valued at 7,000 to 10,000 Euros.
 
A variable jewellery set with 14,70 ct of diamonds, consisting of ear rings and rings will be on sale and dates from 1920-1930, which was the early period of the Italian jewellery firm that was originally founded in 1919. It is estimated at 90,000 to 150,000 Euros, making it the most valuable Buccellati lot of the auction. Dating to the same period is a remarkable bracelet set with 17 ct of diamonds (€14,000 – €20,000).
