Created in the mid-to-late 20th century, this Mario Buccellati hinged cuff bracelet with "Rigato" work is composed of 18K gold and approximately 12.00 carats of diamonds. The slightly tapering, broad cuff is highlighted by florets of round brilliant-cut diamonds on a gold ground chased and engraved in "Rigato" patterning accented at intervals by rosettes. A vintage design no longer produced, with pleasing weight, softness and patina, this textured cuff is a sophisticated evocation of patterned Point de Venise worn over watered silk, reflecting the firm's devotion to ancient Greek goldwork, Renaissance craftsmanship, and Italian style.
