Acclaimed Jewelry Designer Marco Bicego to Appear at James Free Jewelers in Cincinnati

CINCINNATI - Oct. 22, 2013 - PRLog -- For the second time in as many years, internationally acclaimed jewelry designer Marco Bicego will greet fans and sign engraved autographs at James Free Jewelers in Cincinnati, Ohio, on Thursday, November 14. It will be one of just two appearances he is planning in the Midwest during an upcoming trip to the United States.

“Italian designers have long set the tone for what’s hot in the jewelry industry, and Marco Bicego is one of that country’s leading names in the industry,” said Michael Karaman, president of James Free Jewelers, one of the Midwest’s most respected fine jewelry retailers. “He will bring hundreds of rare pieces, including some that are one of a kind. Each one is a collector’s item.”

Bicego is famous for his exquisite, intricate designs that blend Old World craftsmanship with a contemporary flair. Two characteristic features of his designs are exclusive hand-woven coil strands and hand-etched satin finishes. Natural, raw materials, yellow gold and exclusive cut stones, shaped by master craftsmen in Bicego’s Veneto-based workshops, are the essence of Bicego's Murano, Siviglia Drop, Jaipur Link and Africa collections.

“All my creations must be manipulated by hand in order for them to preserve a unique and luxurious experience,” Bicego said.

Bicego began his training as a gold artisan at his father’s 50-year-old atelier. His instincts were refined at the workbench and led him to begin experimenting with 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. The Marco Bicego brand is found only in the finest jewelers around the world. Prices begin at approximately $1,000.

Marco Bicego will appear at James Free Jewelers, 9555 Main Street, Montgomery, Ohio 45242, on Thursday, November 14, from 4:00-8:00 p.m. Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres will be available.Admission is free. More information is available by calling (513) 793-0133 or by visiting www.jamesfree.com.
