A Legacy Rooted in Italian Tradition
Founded in 2000, Marco Bicego was born into the world of jewelry—his father owned a goldsmithing company in Vicenza, Italy, often referred to as the "City of Gold." Drawing on this rich heritage, Marco Bicego set out to create jewelry that honored traditional Italian techniques while offering a fresh, contemporary sensibility.
The brand quickly gained recognition for its signature hand-twisted coil technique and Bulino hand engraving, a centuries-old method that gives gold a fine, brushed texture. These techniques give each piece a distinct, organic feel, like wearable sculpture.
Signature Elements: What Makes Marco Bicego Unique
What sets Marco Bicego apart is its devotion to handcrafted details and understated luxury. Here are some of the brand's defining characteristics:
- Bulino Engraving: Using a traditional tool, artisans carefully etch fine lines into the surface of 18k gold, creating a soft, satin finish that catches light in a subtle, elegant way.
- Hand-Twisted Gold Wire: A signature across many collections, this technique adds a sculptural, fluid dimension to each piece.
- Everyday Wearability: Unlike other fine jewelry that's saved for special occasions, Marco Bicego pieces are designed to be worn and loved daily—making luxury feel personal and accessible.
Modern Spotlight: Editorial Features and Celebrity Fans
Marco Bicego has garnered international acclaim and a devoted following, thanks to its regular appearances in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and Elle, as well as red carpet moments and high-profile fans.
Celebrities like Kerry Washington, Anne Hathaway, and Mindy Kaling have been spotted wearing the brand's pieces, drawn to its effortless glamour and artisan appeal. The jewelry's ability to transition seamlessly from a black-tie gala to a casual brunch makes it a staple in the wardrobes of tastemakers around the world.
