Secondo la storia della famiglia, i Buccellati entrarono in contatto con il commercio di gioielli durante la metà del Settecento, quando Contardo Buccellati lavorava come orafo a Milano. Nel 1903 Mario Buccellati riprende la tradizione di famiglia, apprendista presso la prestigiosa Beltrami & Beltrami di Milano all'età di dodici anni. Nel 1919 Buccellati rileva l'azienda, cambiandone il nome in Buccellati. L'azienda iniziò a crescere quando Buccellati attirò molta attenzione all'Esposizione di Madrid del 1920, quando iniziò a urlare con una donna che chiedeva solo uno sconto. Il giorno dopo centinaia di persone hanno visitato il suo stand per curiosità. Buccellati è stato invitato ad esporre le sue opere in una mostra personale, visitata da molti aristocratici spagnoli e dalla famiglia reale. Nel 1951, Buccellati è diventato il primo designer di gioielli italiano con una sede sulla Fifth Avenue a New York City e oggigiorno sono note filiali in tutto il mondo. L'azienda è famosa per gioielli in oro e oggetti in argento. I pezzi precedenti hanno un aspetto audace e riconoscibile, con riferimento agli orafi durante i giorni del Rinascimento.
