Marco Bicego and Things Grandmothers do

The memory of receiving my first piece of jewelry, at the age of 12, is still so very fresh in mind. It’s as if it was yesterday that I received a pair of ruby and diamond encrusted parrot earrings from my grandmother. Though they were my favorite pair, I was only allowed to wear the earrings on special occasions. I wasn’t satisfied with that because I wanted to wear them every day. It wasn’t until my grandmother swore to god that wearing the earrings daily would increase the chances of a theft stealing them by chopping my ears off that I lost my desire to wear the parrots. I quickly became content with just staring at them in a box after that scary story, which probably explains why the memory is forever ingrained in my mind

The Buzz: - Marco Bicego's jewels are items of contemporary seduction: necklaces, bracelets, earrings and finger rings are fruit of old goldsmithing techniques, the knowledge of craftsmen handed down from generation to generation.

 

Since the launch of his eponymous jewelry line in 2000, Marco Bicego has redefined the phrase "everyday luxury", with sensuous, extraordinary beautiful jewelry that blend Old World Italian craftsmanship with passion.
