Magnificent gems, meticulous craftsmanship and utmost ingenuity make for Bulgari's high-jewellery.
The Roman jeweller's favourite stone, emeralds shine in more than 30 creations from the Bulgari Eden The Garden Of Wonders collection.
Pear-shaped Colombian emeralds are surrounded by a cascade of diamonds in the transformable Emerald Glory, which can be a necklace, a tiara or a detachable choker. The texture reproduces the softness of lace to comfortably adorn the neckline.
An oval-shaped Colombian emerald surrounded by inlays of emeralds and diamonds evoke the Tour Eiffel's slender silhouette. The Tribute to Paris necklace celebrates the artistic bond between the City of Lights and Rome.
Branches of emerald beads and diamonds grow around an impressive Colombian octagonal-cut emerald on the Emerald Venus necklace. Its irregular design is inspired by the Capelvenere, a Mediterranean fern whose Italian name refers to Venus' hair, as a tribute to the Greek goddess of beauty.
The necklace is a part of a set that also includes a matching timepiece, where emeralds are paired with baguette, pavé and round brilliant-cut diamonds while mint-green tourmaline covers the white gold dial.
Sapphires steal the limelight in the Mediterranean Reverie necklace. An amazing fruit of Mother Nature, the rare cushion-cut Sri Lankan sapphire stands out with its intense yet transparent blue shade, that evokes the hues of Capri's Blue Grotto sea cave. The design also features a chain combining platinum and baguette-cut sapphires as well as an array of diamonds in different cuts.
Bulgari also conducted colour experimentation, juxtaposing to signature chromatic matches with unprecedented daring yet elegant pairings. The resulting Flowers of Eden necklace exudes grace through its sinuous silhouette. Handcrafted using an ancient mould technique and wax tablets, this piece boasts a combination of vibrant stones such as tourmalines, carnelians, amethysts and emeralds, while mother-of-pearl flowers sparkle with diamonds.
Bulgari Eden The Garden Of Wonders is also home to serpents. Representing metamorphosis, the pink gold and diamond Serpenti Spinel Embrace necklace is centred by a drop-shaped pink spinel from Tajikistan. Two snakes fuse into one creating the platinum and diamond Serpenti Ocean Treasure necklace, whose twisted design holds an exceptional drop-shaped Sri Lankan sapphire.
