Description

More than 700 photographs and archival pictures trace the development of the Bulgari style, a distinctive look that has captivated royalty, movie stars and others for more than a century and sparked countless imitations by other jewelers.

The book showcases a range of Bulgari’s stunning innovations, such as its easy-to-wear everyday jewels made with precious gems, its trademark watches and unique Vintage Collection. It also describes the creative inspiration that led the firm to its famous juxtaposition of unusual materials, from mixing semiprecious stones with priceless diamonds and mounting ancient coins in gold jewelry to incorporating substances – such as steel and white porcelain – that had never before been used in couture jewelry.

This elegant volume will delight anyone in the field of fashion and jewelry design, as well as the many enthusiastic collectors of Bulgari jewels.
