Drawing constant inspiration from the visionary journey of its founder, Sotirio Bulgari, who embarked on a transformative odyssey akin to Aeneas, traversing diverse Mediterranean lands before settling in Rome to establish the brand’s extraordinary success, Bulgari’s eclectic vision weaves a kaleidoscopic collection of unparalleled jewelry creations. Embracing cross-pollination, eclecticism, and syncretism, this captivating lineup harmoniously blends Mediterranean influences, intertwining Eastern and Western cultures, evoking Byzantine and Roman vibes, and invoking the essence of North African spices and Southern Italian Baroque opulence.
Within this collection, the Mediterranean universe unfolds into three distinctive realms, each a constellation of symbols, atmospheres, and inspirations. The vivacious and fierce “Southern Radiance” embodies the vibrant beauty of Southern Italy, with intricate architecture, lush gardens, sunny coastlines, and a powerful telluric nature converging in flamboyant creations. In homage to the Mediterranean Sea, the “Mediterranean Muse” necklace entices with stunning blue-hued gems, accentuated by a magnetic torchon body of platinum and diamonds, evoking rhythmic sea waves in aquamarines and diamonds.
In the spirit of Southern Italy’s serene Apulia region, where chalky Baroque villages overlook the sea, the “Southern Sapphire” necklace presents a lace-like and effortless arrangement of shimmering diamonds and transparent sapphires encircling a mesmerizing 66.88-carat Ceylon sapphire, mirroring the deep blue hues of the Mediterranean. Radiating balanced elegance and perfection, this timeless piece captures the essence of Southern beauty.
However, it is the extraordinary “Roman Esedra” sautoir that stands as the crowning jewel of this collection. Featuring a captivating 68.88-carat emerald set in a hexagonal pendant, this design pays tribute to a classic Bulgari piece from the ’70s, emanating an air of timelessness and allure. The necklace showcases a harmonious fusion of emeralds, amethysts, and turquoises, reflecting the brand’s signature exuberance rooted in Mediterranean flamboyance.
Each creation in this collection tells a tale of history, culture, and the enduring allure of the Mediterranean, evoking the charm and elegance that have made Bulgari an eternal symbol of luxury and excellence.
