Hardback book, 387 pages, numerous colour photographs.
Since its beginnings in Rome in 1881 and throughout its years of expansion throughout the world, the Bulgari firm has been at the forefront of jewelry design, launching many trends and revivals. Photographs and archival pictures trace the development of the Bulgari style.
Bulgari - "A kaleidoscopic, colourful, and dazzlingly illustrated history of Bulgari jewellery, this engaging book showcases more than three hundred objects from the late-nineteenth century to the present day. The colour illustrations are of such high fidelity that one can almost caress the pieces that for more than one hundred years have emerged from the firm's design workshops. The catalogue highlights Bulgari's signature use of gold coins and serpent motifs. And an entire section is devoted to Bulgari and the film industry of the fifties and sixties. Elizabeth Taylor and Sophia Loren are among the house's star-studded list of fans. Entertaining and didactical at the same time, this book is the essential complement to any jewellery lover's collection."
