Eternelle, The History Of A Ring That Makes History

Once upon a time there were skilled and careful hands creating rings like laces, decorated with engravings and precious stones...and there still are.

Gianmaria Buccellati has maintained unaltered the centuries old traditions in working gold, with a particular predilection for the details and the classicism that use to keep his creations beyond the borders of fashion dictates and always everlastingly trendy.

The romantic notion of Gianmaria Buccellati’s handcrafting tradition is reflected in the name and the shape of these rings, called Eternelle after their uninterrupted design, wrapping around the wearer’s finger with no beginning and no end, with a fluid and eternal motif.

The Eternelle rings can be found in diverse designs, made in white or yellow gold, engraved or perhaps hand-set with a central stone, around which the design develops. But no matter how the designs are expanded upon, the Eternelle rings are still distinctly Buccellati in their nature: they are created by Gianmaria Buccellati and are attentively handled and treated by the artisans, who maintain an authentic feeling of love for their job.

Handcrafting is amazingly fascinating and deserves an authentic and even noble approach: every piercing is carried out scrupulously, the proportions between full and empty spaces are essential. The engraving gives softness to the metal and it is handmade by following ancient techniques and using traditional tools, like burins and chisels; the final steps are the craft made stone setting and the final cleaning, which render the jewel ready to be admired and sold.

Top quality handmade creations stimulate the pride of those who own them.

The Eternelle ring by Gianmaria Buccellati, with its extreme simplicity, confirms this rule and imposes itself with lightness and elegance among those sought after objects that are destined to become legends.
