Selon l'histoire de la famille, les Buccellati sont entrés en contact avec le commerce de la joaillerie au milieu du XVIIIe siècle, lorsque Contardo Buccellati travaillait comme orfèvre à Milan. En 1903, Mario Buccellati a relancé la tradition familiale en apprenant chez le prestigieux Beltrami & Beltrami de Milan à l'âge de douze ans. En 1919, Buccellati a repris l'entreprise, changeant son nom en Buccellati. La société a commencé à se développer lorsque Buccellati a attiré beaucoup d'attention à l'Exposition de Madrid de 1920, quand il a commencé à crier à une femme qui ne demandait qu'un rabais. Le lendemain, des centaines de personnes ont visité son stand par curiosité. Buccellati a été invité à exposer son travail lors d'une exposition personnelle, qui a été visitée par de nombreux aristocrates espagnols et la famille royale. En 1951, Buccellati est devenu le premier créateur de bijoux italien avec un emplacement sur la Cinquième Avenue à New York et de nos jours, des succursales sont connues pour exister partout dans le monde. L'entreprise est réputée pour ses bijoux en or texturés et ses objets en argent. Les pièces antérieures ont un look audacieux et reconnaissable, en référence aux orfèvres à l'époque de la Renaissance.
