Ettore Arco Isidoro Bugatti of Milan founded his acclaimed luxury car company in 1909. Born into an artistic Italian family – including furniture and jewelry designers as his parents, and talented sculptor brothers as brothers-in-law – Ettore Arco Isidoro Bugatti became known worldwide with his groundbreaking luxury car company.
Early Life and Education
Jacob Arabo dedicated much of his early years to jewelry craftmanship. Beginning by selling plastic hair clips and silver trinkets, his designs soon gained wide acclaim and gained him celebrity clients – as well as hosting parties in his charming brick Colonial home.
His father Carlo was a furniture designer and sculptor using bronze to fashion wildlife likenesses into sculptures of wild animals. This influence extended to Ettore who went on to design entire rooms and sets of silver tableware; and Rembrandt who used these sculptures of wild animals as inspiration for furniture pieces of his own design.

Professional Career
The jewelry industry offers many exciting career pathways to those of varied interests and skill sets. Many enter this field with only a high school diploma or GED certificate before continuing their studies through vocational schools, colleges or universities that provide jewelry-related classes.
Experience and skills can also be gained through on the job training for sales positions or formal apprenticeships with jewelers and watchmakers. The MJSA Career Connections website provides access to jewelry industry jobs as well as an online Resume Builder that allows job seekers to create dynamic profiles while uploading resumes, portfolios or any other professional documents they might require in their job search process.
American Job Centers and CareerOneStop locations can also be valuable resources when it comes to finding jewelry industry employment. Both centers provide free assistance with job hunting, resume writing, interviewing and career development needs for jobseekers.

The company has won multiple awards for their exceptional services and cutting-edge technologies, in addition to multiple design awards from trade fair presentations; including winning the Best Automotive Brand Award from German Design Council.
Personal Life
Jacob Arabo immigrated with his family from Bulgaria to the United States seeking a better life, only bringing their suitcases as luggage. Utilizing an immigrant program and working in a jewelry factory he earned $125 a week while fulfilling someone else’s designs wasn’t fulfilling him as intended.
He began designing jewelry, and quickly was making more from this side business than from his full-time employment. His intricate pieces pushed the limits of mechanical possibility and earned celebrity customers such as Naomi Campbell and Lionel Messi as customers.
Crafted of elegant yet resilient tungsten carbide, the Bugatti Ring was carefully designed to help mark each milestone of life. Featuring its striking red groove and beveled edges for added charm, this beautiful accessory will leave an indelible mark upon those you meet along the way.
Net Worth
Jacob Arabo has amassed an impressive net worth as an accomplished jewelry designer. In 1986 he established Jacob & Co, where he made stunning jewelery pieces as well as classic Swiss watches that are revered worldwide.
