Bulgari
Greek silversmith Sotirios Voulgaris arrived in Rome in 1881 and set up his own shop there in 1884, calling it Bulgari, an Italianization of his last name (eventually spelled BVLGARI, using the classical Latin alphabet in a nod to ancient Roman culture). In 1905, he opened the company’s flagship boutique on Rome’s Via dei Condotti.
Although the house found success with its silverwork and Art Deco designs, popular through the 1920s, its signature style — bold, often using yellow gold embellished with big colorful gemstones — began to emerge when Sotirios’s sons inherited the business, in 1932. The brand truly hit its stride in the dolce vita era of the 1950s and ’60s, when the founder’s grandsons Paolo, Gianni and Nicola Bulgari decisively departed from demure traditional styles to develop the house’s exuberant multi-gem looks, attracting celebrity collectors like Elizabeth Taylor.
In the 1940s, Bulgari debuted perhaps its most famous design, the Serpenti bracelet watch. The piece’s snakelike coils were made possible by the tubogas jewelry technique, which links a flexible series of thin horizontal bands. Both the sleek, modern tubogas construction and the sinuous snake motif continue to be synonymous with the Bulgari brand.

- Long Pearl and Gemstone NecklaceLocated in Southbury, CTNaturally-colored South Sea Keshi, baroque Tahitian, luminous Akoya, and Chinese freshwater pearls are strung together with glassy aquamarine and tourmaline crystals to create a luxuriously long -36"- and effortlessly beautiful necklace that you will never tire of wearing. The simple gilded silver hook-and-eye clasp can be worn around the back or off to the side. You can wear this stunning, one-of-a-kind necklace full-length, doubled, or even wrapped several times around your wrist as a bracelet. Layer it with your favorite South Sea or Akoya pearl necklace for an instant update to your jewelry wardrobe. The pearls are all high-quality and were carefully chosen for their beauty and character. Rich eggplant tones combine with pewter, pink, green, silver, and gold to create a statement necklace that doesn't overpower. I love this piece. It's so well-made and Keshi pearls, as you probably already know, are an accident of the pearl culturing process that results in a free-spirited, 100% nacre pearl. In composition, Kwshi pearls are identical to natural, uncultured pearls...Category
