Marco Bicego burst on the jewellery scene less than a decade ago, capturing the world’s attention with collections that give a new dimension to the term ‘everyday luxury’. Their outstanding feature was the utterly natural grace, inspired by nature’s timeless beauty of ‘perfect imperfections’. Gold and other precious materials take on a magical look and feel under this ace designer’s hands.
And for its lucky wearer, to adorn herself in a Bicego jewel…is to not want to ever take it off! Its unique allure complemented by its unusual choice of colours makes it the discerning woman’s dream accessory. Some of his most acclaimed collections include Confetti, Goa, Marrakech and Paradise.
One of Marco Bicego’s most popular collections is Confetti where hand-engraved, feather-light beach pebbles, crafted in 18k gold recall water droplets strung together on cascading, finely-linked, delicate chains. The use of diamonds and multicoloured semi-precious stones heightens the charm offering long necklaces to ‘everyday luxury’ single strands, bracelets, rings and earrings guaranteed to set one apart anywhere. Sophisticated and advanced microscopic laser soldering further ensures invisible seams.
Commenting on his inspiration Marco Bicego said, “The unusual themes of my collections are fuelled by my extensive travels across the world. My Goa collection for instance is inspired by the ceaseless motion of the waves upon the shore replicated by the repeated twirls of gold rope and highlighted by the sparkle of diamonds mimicking light bouncing off the waves. Their natural grace goes perfectly well with the present day lifestyles of women.”
His sophisticated and sensuous ‘Goa’ collection unfurls necklaces, bracelets and rings handcrafted with winding, textured coils of white, yellow and rose gold with diamond brilliants adding glamour. This brand’s jewellery has often been hailed as “exclusive enough to make a statement yet personal enough to wear every day.” So it’s little wonder that his fan list includes A-listers across the world.
Bicego’s Marrakech collection is dedicated to Africa’s rich heritage and presents jewels fashioned from distinctive, hand-finished, highly textured, twisted coils set with diamonds and coloured semi-precious stones. Unfurling hoop earrings, bracelets, strand necklaces, bangle bracelets, graduated earrings, oval earrings on 18k yellow and white gold settings Marrakech is a true visual and tactile delight for women.
His lyrical Paradise collection on the other hand has a discernible quality to it pervaded by a carefree, gypsy charm. Inspired by the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean, this collection offers single chain or multiple chain necklaces, bracelets, drop earrings and rings in ode of femininity. The single or double strands offer elegant accessories for casual wear, while it’s rich array of multiple strand jewels effortlessly enhance evening glam. It was a three-strand necklace from this collection that became US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s exclusive choice.
