Diva’s Dream Améthyste & Tourmaline

LVMH WATCH WEEK 2023 

TIME IS A JEWEL

Dazzling, fascinating, joyful... Iconic! Time ticks away to the beat of Bulgari. The jewellery watches of the Rome-based Maison accompany the most precious moments of life. Iconic designs and daring techniques demonstrate that “Time is a Jewel”.

At the beginning of 2023, Bulgari's emblematic creations are adorned with sparkling gems and dare to take on new faces while carrying on the spirit rooted in its DNA. Colourful, geometric, intensely Italian, and consistently precious! Bulgari's creative vocabulary has been steadily evolving since its origins, as its heritage pieces vividly demonstrate. An extraordinary jeweller and watchmaker once again give life to timeless creations featuring aesthetic codes that have become signatures.

With the colorful and joyful Divas' Dream, the Dolce Vita makes the hours dance to the rhythm of moments seized for eternity. Bulgari celebrates the Italian art of living and the splendour of Rome’s Golden Age. As "Master of Colours", it makes the gemset petals of Divas' Dream quiver and offers a perfect gradient of blue and pink sapphires on Divas' Dream Mosaica.

The entrancing Serpenti mesmerises with its inimitable curves, living up to its stature as an absolute icon. A symbol of vitality, the serpent is reborn in a precious guise with the Serpenti Tubogas Infinity. The modular construction of the bracelet stemming from technical expertise that is a first for Tubogas heralds infinite creative possibilities; while the glamorous Serpenti Seduttori presents a fascinating vision with its black lacquered dial.

DIVAS’ DREAM

With Divas' Dream, Bulgari celebrates the Roman art of living, vibrant with colour and emotion. The joyful and playful Dolce Vita spirit shines through their precious and extrovert opulence. In the 1950s, the Maison highlighted the cabochon cut and the audacious association of brightly coloured stones. A rainbow of gems blossomed in the designs, stating that “Time is a Jewel” for Bulgari. The craftsmen drew inspiration from the Golden Age of Rome and the fan shape of the ginkgo leaf, depicted in the mosaics on the floor gracing Rome’s Baths of Caracalla. The art of jewellery and the art of watchmaking are united around this motif, an iconic aesthetic signature and a pretext for exuberant creativity. As shimmering as ever, the Dolce Vita of the Divas' Dream is second nature to Bulgari, the "Master of Colours".

Bulgari jewellery from the 1980s to the 1990s, such as brooches and necklaces, demonstrated an uncommon command of the craft. Beneath its aura of exuberance and playfulness, the Maison combined various shapes and shades in well-designed proportions and sizes. Later, in 1991, the House continued to manifest its virtuosity in creating sophisticated gem-set motifs, such as those adorning the Naturalia fish earrings. The same mastery in shaping gems to define the design continues with the new Divas' Dream creations.

Divas’ Dream

Precious mobile petals flutter around the pearly face of Divas' Dream, impelled by wrist movements. Their shape is reminiscent of the ginkgo leaf, symbolising the union of opposites. In this model, Bulgari combines the hardness of the stones with the fluidity of the fanned petals. Topazes, tanzanites, amethysts, tourmalines, rubies and diamonds: gems in brilliant colours, brimming with promise, enhance the new Divas' Dream. Featuring blue shades on the first model and mauve on the second, the beauty of polished rose gold at the base of the petals combines with the sparkle of diamonds. On the third, eight deep red rubies – a colour symbolic of good luck and fortune in Asian culture during Chinese New Year festivities – contrast with a diamond pave motif. Each of these Divas' Dreams glows on a perfectly matched strap, contributing to a slim and elegant design that is so quintessentially Bulgari!
