Italian jewelry and watch company Buccellati has opened a new jewel-box store at South Coast Plaza. Celebrated for its signature jewelry designs using traditional hand-engraving techniques inspired by archival drawings from founder Mario Buccellati, the brand’s new boutique echoes those values through its color palette and furnishings. “As Buccellati expands our presence in America and specifically on the West Coast, South Coast Plaza was the clear choice for the brand,” says fourth-generation family member and co-creative director Lucrezia Buccellati. “We are looking forward to deepening our connection to our existing clientele in California and nurturing new relationships in Orange County.” The South Coast Plaza outpost boasts warm tones, clean lines and a quintessential Italian elegance that perfectly complements its jewelry collections. Clients can peruse the iconic Buccellati collections like Hawaii, Macri, Ramage, Rombi and Opera, as well as one-of-a-kind timepieces, silver centerpieces, flatware, tableware and giftware. buccellati.com
