Each piece from the Buckingham^® Collection is thoughtfully designed and created through a strategic process to ensure a beautiful and distinguished style that celebrates the tradition of fine American hand crafting. Each piece starts out as a hand-cut jewel and is transformed into a master carving. Paying close attention to detail, artists then hand brush, burnish and distress each item to provide a one of a kind finishing touch. These additional layers of paint and lacquers give Buckingham^® Collection pieces a subtle nuance of Victorian and Renaissance styles.
