Titanium, large gems and goldsmith virtuosity of Maison Busatti Milano ♦︎
Busatti Milano is a jewelry house founded in the late 1940s by Antonio Busatti and his wife Maria, a collector of art and antiques. Initially, the house focused on importing pearls and rare artifacts from Japan. In the 1970s, the second Busatti generation expanded the business to include diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, and rubies. Busatti Milano later also introduced the creation of high-end jewelry, a business it continues to this day.
Busatti Milano has long introduced the use of titanium for the creation of its jewels. This metal has become a kind of frontier for many jewelry companies. From industrial use, in fact, titanium has moved to goldsmith laboratories with some difficulty: it is light, flexible, hypoallergenic, but it is also difficult to work. Titanium is placed alongside the most traditional metal, gold. But it is in the choice of gems that the Maison, which boasts a long tradition in jewelry, continues to distinguish itself.
Large sapphires, emeralds and diamonds are used to enrich special jewels, such as bracelets covered with a diamond pavé, which have a petal motif in the center that encloses large cushion-cut stones. Or the ring with a huge 26-carat oval sapphire from Sri Lanka, surrounded by two triangular-cut diamonds.
