Live from Couture: New from Marco Bicego
Marco Bicego showcased its new Lunaria collection at the Couture show this year, a line comprised of 18-karat gold pieces meant to portray the movement of “leaves rustling in the wind.”

Lunaria offers lightweight necklaces, rings, bracelets and earrings in hand-engraved petal shapes, with irregular silhouettes and gemstones such as aquamarine, tourmaline and multi-colored quartz.
Retail price points for the collection range from $1,000 to $60,000.
The brand also is further developing its one-of-a-kind collections, which feature jewelry with gemstones including sapphires.
Marco Bicego has focused on its retail partners over the past year, opening shop-in-shops at select Bloomingdale’s locations and creating specialty collections for Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus.
“We have seen significant growth in our shop-in-shops at Bloomingdale’s and are continuing to build our relationship with additional shop-in-shop openings in 2014,” Marco Bicego USA President Moise Cohen told National Jeweler. “Buying jewelry is a personal experience and it’s nice to invite clients into our dedicated shops where they can have a personal experience with the brand.”
