Curator's choice: Alba Cappellieri

This imposing necklace was designed by Gianmaria Buccellati and handcrafted in 1996 in the Milanese ateliers of Buccellati. It is composed of autumn leaves and colors that remind us of how much nature was and still is inspiring for all Buccellati creations, with the desire to depict it in its amazing beauty and continuous marvels.
The three amethysts alternate with four citrines, thus creating a rhythm of yellow and violet colors that soon remind us of an autumn embracing atmosphere, bringing us into nature and its nuances.
The groups of leaves are in yellow gold, with shiny venations in white gold and a central red gold griffe for the amethysts, while the citrines are set in a yellow gold griffe mounting. The bunches of leaves are distanced from one another with white gold morettes. The rear part of the necklace is composed of groups of three leaves, each one alternating with white gold morettes.
