MOJEH meets with Italian jeweller Marco Bicego, whose rich European heritage heavily influences his unique and unmistakable style. With numerous 18-karat gold-smothered collections already firmly under his belt, all of which are handcrafted in Trissino, nestled deep within the Venetian region of northern Italy, Marco Bicego’s pieces are instantly recognisable.
Each piece boasts a subtle luxury and elegance, while simultaneously featuring individuality and personality that’s beautifully emphasised when worn by the right woman. Marco Bicego’s creations have been worn by the likes of Hillary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, Melissa Gates and Kylie Minogue and here, MOJEH speaks to the creative about his past, present and future.
