Venice’s Marco Bicego Stuns With His Unico Collection

The Italian designer Marco Bicego attributes his style to the place of his upbringing, Venice, which he says denotes the combination of classic tradition and contemporary design. Though all of his work features 18 karat gold, his exclusive Unico collection pays special tribute to the most beautiful gems of all colors, shapes and sizes, with minimalist wiry frames allowing the stones themselves to receive their due glory.

One of the features that distinguishes the Venetian’s work is the reliance on human hand technique which Bicego learned from his father. Among these is the engraving he bestows upon his pieces, giving it a texture that resembles the effect of a fine brush and requires the use of an old-time “Bulino”. Another method, the hand twisted coil technique, serves to accent his pieces with a modern flair.

In addition to his northern Italian flagship location, Bicego has boutiques in France, Hungary, the United Kingdom, and further afield, in the United States and Japan. Besides the boutiques, there are Bicego shops scattered throughout the continent and beyond, numbering in the hundreds.
