On Wednesday October 21st, Buccellati celebrated the launch of the new Opera Collection in the halls of
Spencer House in London.
Friends from around the world, Lucy Connor, Greg Rusedski, Kim Hersov, Ian Wace, Saffron Aldridge and Rocco Forte among the others, gathered with Guest of Honour and star of the advertising campaign, Elisa Sednaoui, with cocktails and a truffle bar, managed by the Italian chef Mariuccia Ferrero, to toast the refreshingly youthful designs the Opera Collection enriches the brand with.
Inspired by the house’s new logo, the collections central motif awakens Italian Renaissance culture: the ideal of absolute symmetry as expressed by the flower.
Characterized by sinuous fine lines and harmonious forms, Opera is comprised of a wide range of pieces; bracelets, necklaces, rings and earrings in yellow, white and rose gold, some with pave diamonds.
The collection also encompasses high jewelry pieces featuring cuffs, one-of-a-kind cocktail earrings and rings adorned with sapphires and emeralds.
Amid the vitrines of jewelry, Buccellati displayed official and behind-the-scenes images of its new advertising campaign, starring the beautiful Elisa Sednaoui photographed by Peter Lindbergh.
Milan, the city where the brand was founded in 1919, served as the background for the shots.

About Spencer House…
Spencer House has regained the full splendour of its late eighteenth-century appearance after a ten year programme of restoration undertaken by RIT Capital Partners plc under the Chairmanship of Lord Rothschild. The final appearance of the rooms, complete with carved architectural detail, chimneypieces and copies of original furniture, is also a testament to the support of the Spencer family who provided access to Althorp to enable replication work of outstanding quality to be achieved.The House provides a unique setting where events can be held in the historic setting of the eight State Rooms. The accurate restoration is complimented by a magnificent collection of paintings and furniture, specially assembled for the House, including five major Benjamin West paintings graciously lent by Her Majesty The Queen.
