Since 1884, Bulgar i has exempli f ied I t a l ian excel lence . Bui l t

upon 2700 years of Roman history, Bulgar i honours its r ich past

within its modern designs. Renowned for a stylistic audacity and

a penchant for colour, a Bulgari piece is immediately recognisable.

The sensuality of volume, a love of linearity, and a reverence for

the ar t and architecture of its ancient roots – such characteristics

def ine each creation. With a mastery of ar tisanal craf tsmanship,

Bulgari innovates the future of design, and guards the legend of

exquisite beauty.

Finding its Roman beginnings as a jewellery shop, Bulgari was

founded in 1884 by Greek silversmith Sotirio Bulgari. Today an

icon of luxury, Bulgar i is known for unrivalled design, str ik ing

volumes and bold colour s . F ind ing endless inspir at ion in the

Eternal City, Bulgari reinterprets the majestic symbols of Rome

into exquisite editions of jewellery, watches, accessories and

per fumes. Honouring its history, Bulgari engraved the original

Latin “V” epigraphy of its name above the prestigious Via dei

Condotti store in 1934, inspiring the BVLGARI logo. In 2014, the

magnif icent DOMVS was built in the f lagship store as a gallery to

house Bulgari Heritage Collection treasures. The Bulgari name has

become synonymous with brilliant colour, symbolic storytelling,

and peerless craf tsmanship – for over 130 years.

THE ART OF JEWELLERY MAKING: THE BVLGARI SAVOIR-FAIRE

Intr icate and s tr ik ing , Bulgar i jeweller y is highly recognisable .

Some of Bulgari’s trademark designs – vivid cabochon-cut

gemstones , coil ing Serpent i creat ions , ancient Monete coin

while Bulgari craf tsmen devote months to each piece of wearable

per fection.

With design at its hear t, Bulgari always upholds the beauty of

a jewel above its intrinsic value ; and the whole inspiration for a

Bulgari masterpiece often begins with the remarkable nature of

a gemstone.

Since the 1950s, Bulgari has blazed its own trail, with a colour

revolution that deviates from the traditional, diamond-based

Parisian school of jewellery. With its innovative Italian style, the

master of gemstones has continued to explore unusual stone

combinations to make jewellery come alive – in a rainbow of

colours.

Unusual, bold, extraordinary: the magnif icence of Bulgari’s style.

From voluminous jewellery to singular jewels, Bulgari gems are

known for daring designs and uncommon cuts. Bulgari often uses

the luminous, round cabochon-cut to optically glorify prominent

gemstones, or to texturally contrast faceted stones.

Bulgari designers have likewise revived the egg-shaped takhti cut,

infusing jewels with the dramatic.

Embodying the ultimate in Italian femininity, the Diva collection

sparkles with the glamour, drama and timeless beauty of a diva.

Diva’s signature emblem was inspired by the mosaic shapes of the

Roman Baths of Caracalla (216 AD), arced into a contemporary

myriad of colours and styles.

Bulgari has been inseparable from the world’s most exquisite

divas since the Dolce Vita era of Italy – starring in more than 40

f ilms and on countless red carpets.

With innovative dazzle, an emerald and diamond Diva timepiece

SERPENTI:THE SEDUCTIVE SYMBOLHAS BECOME AN ICON

Coiled around the history of humanity, the seductive serpent

dates back to ancient Greek and Roman mythology.

A motif representing wisdom, vitality, and the circle of life, the

supple snake charmed exotic beauties from Cleopatra to the

Bulgari woman. Inspired by its Roman heritage, Bulgari’s f irst

Serpenti was created in the ‘40s – a snake watch to encircle the

wrist, and keep time in its jewelled head.

Whether in a realistic or geometrically abstract manner, Serpenti

inter twines each Bulgari hallmark together: a love for colour, a

juxtaposition of materials, a f lexible wearability, and avant-garde

ar tisanal techniques.

MVSA:A HYMN TO THE GEMSTONES

Page 36: founded in 1884 by Greek silversmith Sotirio Bulgari. · PDF filefounded in 1884 by Greek silversmith Sotirio Bulgari. Today an ... an emerald and diamond Diva timepiece won the Jewellery

Greek mythology recounts the tale of 9 muses, goddess sisters

who inspired all literature, science, music and the ar ts.

The MVSA collection is a tribute to Bulgari’s own muses : the

gemstones. The Italian jeweller has immor talised their legend

with bright gem combinations that sing with colour.

MVSA’s ancient takhti cut recalls the Indian dome rooftops of the

Maharaja palaces, entirely reinterpreted and halved by Bulgari

to reveal the curves, the sensuality and the brightness of MVSA

gems, doting on the beautiful daughters of creativity.

MONETE:HONOURING ANTIQUITY

BY GIVING IT RENEWED LIFE

Page 41: founded in 1884 by Greek silversmith Sotirio Bulgari. · PDF filefounded in 1884 by Greek silversmith Sotirio Bulgari. Today an ... an emerald and diamond Diva timepiece won the Jewellery

Like rare and precious gems of inestimable historical value,

ancient Greek, Roman and Persian coins are able to f ind life again,

in a modern jewellery collection. The practice of mounting coins

in jewellery dates back to the 7th century BC; it was adopted by

Bulgari in the ‘30s – when the Italian jeweller began to effectively

modernise history.

A playful contrast of past, present and future has coined Monete

into gleaming contemporary designs . Today Monete is one of

Bulgari’s signature collections.

“To ancient coins, relics of the past, we of fer a second chance at life :

rather than leaving them closed in a drawer, we transform them into

living things.”

Growing from the Roman roots of the brand, the trademark

BVLGARI BVLGARI logo was inspired by the inscriptions on

ancient coins. Today, the iconic emblem encircles itself on every

one of the collection’s creations.

In 1975, its emblem was used as an element of design for the very

f irst time on a watch: a new premise for the jewellery world.

A 40th Anniversary tribute to the initial BVLGARI ROMA creation

will be released in 2015 in the form of a pendant; while the 2015

hear t-shaped BVLGARI BVLGARI CUORE will spur love at f irst

sight.

The clock struck a new millennium, and the world welcomed a

In addition, its trademark spiral refl ects the artful and research-driven

Tubogas technique that has become a brand hallmark, and a symbol

for the endless circle of life.

B.zero1’s f irstborn ring has inspired countless circular creations, in

a myriad of materials ranging from diamonds to ceramic. In rings,

pendants and jewels, the B.zero1 collection spirals innovation

with charisma.
