Once Upon A Time in Mediterranea

Bulgari’s latest high jewellery collection is a fantastical journey exploring history, culture and beauty

- ANGELYN KWEK

Like the most magical of escapism novels, the Bulgari Mediterranea is an epic and immersive story that tells of a world where cross-pollination, eclecticism and syncretism come together.

It is a mighty tale that opens your mind’s eye to Mediterranean inspirations, connecting Byzantine and Roman vibes, and the blending of Eastern and Western cultures while weaving in touches of North African influences and Southern Italian Baroque splendour; a saga made manifest via four collections: Southern Radiance, Roman Splendor, East Meets West and the Serpenti line.

And it all begins in the heart of Rome, where history and luxury intertwine, and the home of Bulgari from whence the brand’s creativity continues to spring. Mediterrenea showcases the pinnacle of the House’s audacious creativity and exceptional craftsmanship with the most extraordinary of haute joaillerie creations.

The four core collections span the glittering shores of the Southern Radiance to the eternal splendour of Rome, the enchantment of East Meets West, and the iconic allure of the Serpenti line. Indeed, these four collections constitute an opulent High Jewellery showcase that captures the essence of the Mediterranean and its landscape of diverse cultural influences.

The Southern Radiance segment of the collection transports us to the sun-soaked shores of the Mediterranean. Just as the golden sun caresses the turquoise sea, the vibrant hues of the region come alive in Bulgari’s masterpieces. Be seduced by the Mediterranean Muse necklace, with stunning gems in a range of blue tones that whisper of the underwater treasures that lie beneath the shimmering waves.
