The turquoise displays natural dark veining across its brilliant blue surface, while the pearls introduce a soft, opalescent counterpoint. Between the stones, sculpted gold leaves form a continuous botanical rhythm, their intricate surfaces catching the light with a subdued, almost fabric-like shimmer.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eFounded in Milan in 1919 by Mario Buccellati, the house developed a distinctive goldsmithing language rooted in the decorative arts of the Italian Renaissance. Its jewelry is celebrated for richly textured surfaces, naturalistic ornament, and the transformation of precious metal into forms that evoke lace, silk, and finely chased metalwork. This necklace reflects that tradition through its carefully modeled foliage, where the gold is treated not merely as a setting but as an essential decorative element.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe alternating sequence of turquoise and pearls gives the necklace a measured, almost architectural balance, while the intervening leaves lend softness and movement to its circular composition. The contrast of saturated blue, pearlescent white, and warm yellow gold creates a distinctive expression of Buccellati's Italian aesthetic, at once ornamental and remarkably composed.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cem\u003eLike a garland gathered in gold, its leaves holding the colors of sky and sea.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Buccellati\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa 1960\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18K Yellow Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStones \u0026amp; Carat Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oval turquoise cabochons and white pearls; carat weights and pearl measurements not specified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alternating turquoise cabochons and white pearls joined by sculpted gold leaf motifs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent vintage condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not sizable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal ID:\u003c\/strong\u003e NE65358\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Buccellati","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67919468658961,"sku":"NE65358","price":65000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/9008\/5393\/files\/IMG_1652_Product_Beautifier_2_4373878.jpg?v=1793301930","url":"https:\/\/www.odeoncollection.com\/products\/buccellati-turquoise-and-pearl-necklace-in-18k-yellow-gold-1960s","provider":"Odeon Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
