Segundo a história da família, os Buccellati tiveram contato com o comércio de joias em meados do século XVIII, quando Contardo Buccellati trabalhava como ourives em Milão. Em 1903, Mario Buccellati reviveu a tradição da família, aprendendo na prestigiosa Beltrami & Beltrami de Milão aos doze anos de idade. Em 1919, Buccellati assumiu o controle da empresa, mudando seu nome para Buccellati. A empresa começou a crescer quando Buccellati chamou muita atenção na Exposição de Madri de 1920, quando começou a gritar com uma mulher que só pedia um desconto. No dia seguinte, centenas de pessoas visitaram seu estande por curiosidade. Buccellati foi convidado a expor seu trabalho em uma mostra individual, que foi visitada por muitos aristocratas espanhóis e pela família real. Em 1951, Buccellati se tornou o primeiro designer de joias italiano com sede na Quinta Avenida, na cidade de Nova York, e hoje em dia existem filiais em todo o mundo. A empresa é famosa por joias de ouro com textura e objetos de prata. As peças anteriores têm uma aparência ousada e reconhecível, com referência aos ourives durante os dias do Renascimento.
