Designer Spotlight: Marco Bicego

By: Amidon Jewelers

    Do you appreciate the finer things? If you like travel, fine dining and the most beautiful aspects of every culture, you could be the perfect candidate for a piece of Marco Bicego jewelry.       Bicego learned his trade from his father, a jeweler in the Veneto region of Italy. As a gold artisan, Bicego developed his own style. He blended modern lines with ethnic motifs from Africa, India, the Middle East and wherever else he found inspiration. He hand-manipulated gold into beads, spirals and chains, combining then with precious gems of every color.   While this jewelry makes the perfect gift, Bicego caters to sophisticated women who like to pick and purchase the most beautiful pieces for themselves. His designs are original, but simple enough to wear for everyday occasions as well as momentous celebrations.   Amidon customers can choose from a selection of Bicego’s jewelry lines. You’ll be in good company, as top stores in Tokyo, London, Saint Tropez and other global hotspots carry this luxury brand. In addition to the Verona home base, Bicego has a US headquarters in San Francisco. Amidon is the only authorized Bicego jeweler in New Hampshire. Bicego’s pieces have made it into many celebrity collections. Jennifer Lopez wore a 17-strand white gold and diamond bracelet from Bicego’s Goa collection on “American Idol.”       Many of Bicego’s stones come from Jaipur, the famed “pink city” of India renowned for its gem cutters. Between Bicego’s design and the expert craftsmanship of the artisans of Jaipur, you’ll find some real beauties. This yellow gold ring is set with green tourmaline in a brilliant prism cut. You can wear it alone or stacked with another ring. Its hand-engraved gold casings give it a more personal look than factory-made jewelry.       This pair of Marco Bicego earrings is for the woman who still has a streak of princess inside. Vivid pink tourmaline pairs with amethyst and yellow gold for a sumptuously feminine set of ear adornments. These are also part of the Jaipur collection.   Offerings change as Bicego invents new collections. Please give us a call at 603-643-3615 to inquire about current pricing and availability.
