founded in 1884 by Greek silversmith Sotirio Bulgari. Today an

icon of luxury, Bulgari is known for its unrivalled design, striking

volumes and bold colors. Finding endless inspiration in the

Eternal City, Bulgari reinterprets the majestic symbols of Rome

into exquisite editions of jewelry, watches, accessories and

per fumes. Honoring 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

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.

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 jeweled head.

Whether in a realistic or geometrically abstract manner, Serpenti

inter twines each Bulgar i hallmark : a love for color, a

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

ar tisanal techniques.

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 jeweler has immor talized their legend

with bright gem combinations that sing with color.

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:HONORING ANTIQUITY

BY GIVING IT RENEWED LIFE

Page 41: founded in 1884 by Greek silversmith Sotirio Bulgari. Today an · founded in 1884 by Greek silversmith Sotirio Bulgari. Today an icon of luxury, Bulgari is known for its unrivalled

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 jewelry collection. The practice of mounting coins

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

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

modernize 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.”

Originating 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 a design element for the very

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