The Qatar Goodwood Festival commences this week in England, with Buccellati as the Official Jewellery Partner of Goodwood Racecourse.
The festival is one of the racing season’s highlights, attracting competitors from around the world over the five-day event.
Running from the 30th of July until the 3rd of August, the event marks the second year of the heritage Italian jeweller’s association with horseracing following a successful 2023 at the Qatar Goodwood Festival.
Discussing the partnership in the notes accompanying the announcement, the house said “The alignment between Buccellati and Goodwood provides a natural partnership. The history of racing at Goodwood echoes Buccellati’s heritage which safeguards over a century of design, while Goodwood preserves a similarly historical longevity. A combined ethos of inspiration provided from the rich archives of both families, both Buccellati and Goodwood’s authentic instinct of remaining true to their origins connects them at the core.”
For 2024 Buccellati is also sponsoring Eleanor Franchitti’s ride Timeless Beauty in “The Magnolia Cup,” a ladies-only charity race featuring influential and inspirational novice female jockeys selected to take part from all walks of life. All proceeds of the race support My Sisters’ House, a women’s centre founded in 2014 supporting any self-identifying woman to improve their welfare and wellbeing, reducing their risk of domestic abuse and supporting recovery.
A bespoke silver trophy designed by Andrea Buccellati will be awarded to the winning Owner of The Buccellati Handicap Stakes and is to be unveiled and displayed in the Buccellati Box from the 31st July among an array of one-of-a-kind jewellery and silverware creations.
Silver creations from the Opera Collection will be awarded to the winning Trainer and Jockey, and the traditional photo frame presented to the groom of the winning horse. Luca Buccellati and Buccellati London’s Managing Director Lord Bruce Dundas will host guests over three days within the Buccellati box while unique jewellery and silverware creations are displayed to be visited and admired within the “jewellery box.
