About the new Marco Bicego Lunaria Alta jewellery collection
Italian icon, Marco Bicego launched its first-ever high jewellery collection this year. Presented at the Haute Jewels Geneva 2022 showcase, the series of stunning designs were presented to mark the debut collection, steeped in elegance and defining femininity in a whole new and unique way. The company has always been known for its traditional techniques and its use of vibrant gemstones. The new Alta collection draws upon these time-honoured methods and comprises around 50 new single-edition earrings, rings and necklace designs as part of the eye-catching series. Marco Bicego defines this new collection as an extension to the brand’s colourful gemstone jewellery designs and its magnificent interpretation of classic craftsmanship. Marco Bicego explains: “ALTA is the most valuable jewellery collection that we have ever produced. For us, this is a natural evolution: a more extreme, more significant and richer interpretation of the magnificence of natural gemstones. Simultaneously, it is an ode to the incredible craftsmanship of our artisans working at our atelier in Trissino, Italy,”
The new Marco Bicego Alta jewellery collection is characterised by its 18ct yellow gold designs featuring a range of multi-coloured gemstones and diamonds. These precious stones form the essential components of the range and are accompanied by beautiful Florentine hand-engraving techniques that add a significant level of depth and detail to each design. The hand-engraved effect has formed the backbone of many of Marco Bicego’s innovative jewellery designs over the years and imbues each creation with a soft, alluring glow.
Why do the new Marco Bicego Alta jewellery pieces make such great gifts this Christmas 2022?
The designs from Marco Bicego’s new Alta jewellery collection bridge the gap between contemporary and modern, appealing to jewellery-loving ladies with a preference for the traditional allure of a Marco Bicego piece, combined with its modern take on bold and influential jewellery making. The technique creates a contrasting middle ground between the matte surface of the gold and the scintillating effect of each carefully chosen diamond.
The Alta jewellery collection also adopts another signature design element frequently used by Marco Bicego within its dramatic jewellery designs – the flat wire with a detailed striped texture. Predominantly the designs from the Alta jewellery collection by Marco Bicego meld together the iconic styles of the Lunaria, Marrakech, Petali and Africa jewellery series. By combining the different styles of these jewellery lines into one unique line, Marco Bicego fans can enjoy all their favourite aspects of the Maison in one single design, making each piece a unique and innovative gift idea for her this Christmas 2022.
The brand’s press release on the collection outlines some more details about the new line; “We view high jewellery as the art of elevating precious stones. Nature, flowers, and leaves have always been sources of inspiration for me, and we still are very loyal to these concepts because they give us the chance to highlight the traditional handcrafting techniques we use,”

The leaves are hand-engraved using an ancient Florentine technique, adding to their refined and opulent style. The surface of each of these leaf-shaped structures has been adorned with pave-set round brilliant-cut diamonds. Each stone has been carefully chosen by an expert at Marco Bicego and has been selected for its natural beauty, its fire and its brilliance. Together this pave-set formation of round brilliant-cut diamonds picks up angles of light as the earrings move in a free and flowing way.
