Marco Bicego travels all around the world, and his luxurious Italian jewelry collections are often inspired by what he sees during his travels. Handcrafting from 18 karat gold, this extraordinary designer combines traditional jewelry-making techniques and craftsmanship with stunning contemporary design. One of the newest collections of Marco Bicego jewelry is the Masai Collection, which was inspired by the African Maasai tribe. This tribe lives on the borders of Kenya and Tanzania, and they wear elaborate beaded jewelry, with each piece richly symbolic and sharing the story of a person’s life journey. Each piece wraps around a tribal member’s wrists, neck or ankles. To honor this tradition, Marco Bicego has created an entire collection where each piece is carefully from 18 karat gold (yellow and white) and features hand-coiled strands of gold, using thin 18 karat wire wrapped around a thicker strand of gold. Each piece of jewelry adapts to the curves of the human body and can be worn alone or stacked. Marco Bicego called this tribe’s jewelry traditions “elegant” and he admires their incredible attention to detail. Like all of Marco Bicego’s work, every step of the design process is completed in-house, with an emphasis on individuality. Each gem is exclusively cut and chosen for its distinctive composition and shade. The result is a collection that is contemporary, elegant and one of a kind. His passion for jewelry is evident in each piece that he creates and Marco Bicego jewelry is modern and luxurious, fresh and vibrant.
