Florentine jewellery designer Carolina Bucci boasts a rich family heritage in crafting timeless bijoux. Having studied fine arts and jewellery design in New York, Bucci returned to Italy to work with goldsmiths — mixing tradition with boundary-pushing modernity — and subsequently launched her first collection. Her brand rose in popularity in 2002, when her gold and silk friendship bracelets found cult acclaim after actress Sarah Jessica Parker wore one throughout the final series of the “Sex and the City” television show. From there, Carolina Bucci designs have become synonymous with her woven gold and silk threads that evoke a transcendental, effortless ease.
