Bulgari’s 2021 High Jewellery collection magnifica celebrates three of its iconic design pillars: gems, creativity and craftsmanship. more than 10,000 hours of master artistry culminated in this collection of more than 120 pieces, featuring one-of-a-kind works of art.
Imperial Spinel
Featuring the fourth-largest known spinel in the world, weighing 131.21 carats, this necklace is an ode to Bulgari’s longstanding love of coloured gemstones. Surrounded by a cascade of diamonds and emerald beads, the necklace is a showstopper.
Mediterranean Queen
This necklace, which required more than 2,400 hours to complete, is inspired by an archival necklace that dates back to 1969. Five oval cushion-cut Paraiba tourmalines, weighing approximately 500 carats, are connected by curved waves of cabochon emeralds and diamonds. Paraiba tourmalines, amongst the rarest gems in the world, glow with an aqua hue reminiscent of the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea that surrounds Italy’s Sardinia.
Baroque Spiral
Seventeenth-century painter artemisia Gentileschi is one of the most celebrated artists of the Baroque movement. and this necklace is a reflection of her rebellious, indomitable spirit. using the spiral as a symbol of life and evolution, cabochon rubies, emeralds, sapphires and diamonds are masterfully set, all creating a contemporary interpretation of Bulgari’s signature style of the 1960s.
Prodigious Colour
With its five spectacular cabochon-cut gems of outstanding proportion, this necklace of amethyst, citrine, rubellite, blue topaz and pink quartz—totalling an extraordinary weight of 288.20 carats—fuses some of Bulgari’s most distinctive stylistic trademarks.
