Serpentine and shiny
MANILA, Philippines - Bulgari recently hosted a private lunch at Old Manila in Manila Peninsula to launch the latest Serpenti jewelry collection.
The Serpenti jewelry collection plays on the variety of forms suggested by the snake, transforming its sinuous body into wraparound bracelets and rings. It plays on color as well, through refined decorations in diamonds and multicolored gemstones, crafted in a way that establishes continuity with the past while at the same time imbuing each piece with a touch of modernity.
Conceived as single, double or triple coils and crafted with consummate mastery, the new creations are characterized by a design that artfully combines classic Bulgari style with innovative contemporary lines.
Emblem of wisdom, life and eternity, the serpent has always been a constant presence in jewelry — from Hellenism to our own day — and is a cornerstone of the history of Bulgari style.
In 2009, the expressive power of this ancient symbol has returned, speaking a contemporary creative language that offers a new interpretation of an ancient tradition that connects it seamlessly to the Bulgari heritage.
The brand, which celebrates its 125th anniversary this year, has given rise to a new line of precious jewels and timepieces, each one an emblem of the artistry and the values that have distinguished Bulgari design for more than a century.
