Marco Bicego

Marco Bicego works out of Vicenza in 18k gold, and the thing that sets it apart is the bulino, an old hand-engraving tool that leaves the gold with a fine brushed, almost silk finish. A single Lunaria leaf can take more than 500 hand movements, so each piece carries small irregularities you won't find in machine-made gold. In Zurich the brand is sold at Meister on the Bahnhofstrasse, a good fit for someone drawn to warm, worked gold over a bright white setting.
