HOW THE BUCCELLATI PATH WORKS:
- ENROLMENT IN THE BUCCELLATI SELECTION COURSE
In order to access the Buccellati Path, it is first necessary to enrol in the Buccellati Selection Course by filling in the online enrolment form.The Course lasts 65 hours and costs € 1,500 (included in the total price of the Path).
- ADMISSION TO THE BUCCELLATI PATH
At the end of the Selection Course, students will be interviewed by Buccellati, which will select those who will be admitted to the Path. - MEETING IN THE COMPANY
At the end of the 9 Courses planned in the Path, all the students will be summoned to the company to define both the foreseen destination and the established task. Buccellati will grant new recruits a scholarship of 6,000 €. - HIRING
Once the course has been completed, students will be informed of their destination location (Milan, Valbrona, Valenza, Bologna or Chiasso) and the department assigned. Transfers to other European countries are also possible.
Students will have to confirm employment, for at least 3 years, with the Maison or, on a secondary basis, with other companies in the Richemont Group. If not honoured the 3-year commitment, the Company will ask for all or part of the student’s scholarship back.
There will be a special SOA certificate for the 18 selected students who will participate in the Path and a special SOA/Buccellati certificate for those who will be hired by the Company.
Since the 1920s, the Maison Buccellati has represented the pinnacle of Italian fine jewellery. Class, elegance and technique characterise Buccellati jewellery, which is not simply a luxury good, but true art masterpiece. Buccellati creations draw inspiration from the most exquisite Italian Renaissance art and natural elements, translating into jewellery with extremely complex and detailed designs, rich in fretwork, plays of light, embroidery and stones.
These results are obtained through the use of unique and ancient techniques such as engraving, chiselling, embossing, filigree, niello and enamelling, which require the skilled hands of the best goldsmith Masters. Over the years Buccellati has been a supplier to the Courts of Italy, Spain, Egypt and the Vatican, and Mario Buccellati himself was goldsmith and friend of the poet Gabriele d’Annunzio, who named him ‘the Prince of Goldsmiths’.
Today, the Maison belongs to the prestigious Richemont Group, and continues to represent the excellence of Made in Italy throughout the world, with boutiques in Paris, London, Monte Carlo, Moscow, Dubai and New York, among others.
