Marco Bicego began his training as a gold artisan at his father's fifty year old atelier in the Veneto region of Italy. His instincts were refined at the workbench and led him to create unique, multi-textured items that were both beautiful and unexpected. He began to experiment with jewelry design: blending urban-inspired lines with ethnic motifs and merging natural forms with artistic outlines. This pure craftsmanship can be found in his manipulation of gold; transforming this luxurious element into spirals and hand-engraved beads.
