The luxury jewelry always will be a synonym of gems, precious metals and in art to its maximum expression. A brand that combines these three elements to create the eternal jewelry that is Bulgari. This house is famous for designing jewels of exquisite beauty, in which the handling of colors, volumes and an always innovative design become the main characters on their simple yet modern proposals, always inspired in the city of Rome, This is something that they have known how to take advantage of to venture not only in the hotels world, but also offer watches, accessories and perfumes with which they also cover in glamour and elegance to the most beautiful women in the world
To get to the place they are, the brand has gone a long way, which started in 1884; the Greek smith Sotirio Bulgari, opened a jewelry store in the via Sistina of the city of Rome; although it wouldn’t be until 1905 that their designs were to be known, after moving his store to via Condotti. Counting with the help of his children, this place soon became not only the most representative store, but also one of the most frequented places by the rich and famous, thanks to their perfectly crafted unique jewels.
From there on, the Brand would make great contributions to the jewelry world, among which it’s attributed to be the first one to combine rubies, emeralds and diamonds into one single piece. A fact that would boost non-stopping innovation that’s present in every of their jewels. Some of their most iconic collections are:
Bvlgari Bvlgari: one of the emblems of this collection is its watches; an evolved version of the digital watch Bvlgari Rome, limited edition piece with a macramé leash made of gold. That was exhibited in 1975 and for the first time the recording of the brand, being inspired in ancient roman coins.
Monete: Characterized by the incorporation of ancient coins imbued in the jewels, conserving its structure and highlighting its beauty, for which the mounting adapts to the contour of each coin.
Serpenti: Taking the seductive symbolism of the snake, the bracelet-watch serpenti was shown for the first time in the decade of the 40’s: the juxtaposition of materials, adaptability and venture techniques to reproduce realistically its sinuous contour and scales.
Parentesi: Inspiring in the articulation of roman pavements, the Brand created their first edition of modular jewelry in the 80’s, where each module is cleverly combined with different connecting materials to create necklaces, bracelets and rings of great beauty.
Tubogas: Inspired in the gas pipes, Bvlgari would begin to use flexible round bands to form unique pieces that didn’t require wielding around the decade of the 70’s conferring a modern touch to their watches, bracelets, necklaces and rings.
Without a doubt, we can say that this is one of the most shocking brands because of its originality, something that perfectly combines with the blinding shine of the gems and precious metals that uses on its designs, which is why it’s hard to not see it as an actual icon of luxury jewelry.
