Diva’s Dream Peacock Diamonds

DIVAS’ DREAM PEACOCK MARQUE TRY

AN ODE TO THE BIRD Of JUNO

The Divas’ Dream Peacock legacy unfolds further with new interpretations embracing marquetry. Through its expertise in jewellery, artisanal crafts, and horological complications, Bulgari celebrates the innate grandeur of the peacock, an enchanting creature within the brand’s bestiary, illustrating a continuing narrative of elegance and craftsmanship.

With the Divas’ Dream Peacock collection, born in 2017, Bulgari “has transcended the Swiss concept of métiers d’art and taken it to a diflerent level”, notes CEO Jean-Christophe Babin in “Bulgari Beyond Time”, the book tracing the Maison’s creative journey. Inspired by Bulgari’s rich heritage, creativity, and expertise, the Divas’ Dream Peacock collection unfolds a story as sublime as the peacock itself, a marvel of nature arrayed in gala splendour.

Divas’ Dream Peacock has its own chapter in the mythical realm of ‘Animali fantastici,’ Bulgari’s legendary bestiary. While ‘Serpenti’ – the hypnotic serpent – embodies mysterious seduction, Peacock, or ‘Pavone’ in Italian, the majestic peacock, radiates beauty and confidence through the silky nuances of its feathers. Whereas Serpenti coils around the wrist, Peacock, like a true diva, unfurls its arched feathers in a wheel – a multitude of arabesques and curves dear to Bulgari’s stylistic lexicon, reminiscent of the mosaic designs in the Baths of Caracalla.

The iconic Divas’ Dream Peacock Dischi marries the horological mechanics of an automatic calibre with mysterious hours to a dial adorned with marquetry of natural peacock feathers – a technique mastered by Bulgari since the 1970s. The Divas’ Dream Peacock Diamonds reveals a dial decorated with fan-shaped motifs, inspired by the mosaics of Caracalla. Indeed, on these vestiges, testaments to past splendour, you will find renditions of the peacock, a powerful symbol since ancient Egypt and associated with the goddess Juno in Roman mythology.

Today, Divas’ Dream Peacock unveils new masterpieces, showcasing Bulgari’s artistry of marquetry and evoking the most exquisite and precious ancient mosaics: the Divas’ Dream Peacock Feather Marquetry, the Divas’ Dream Peacock Mother-of-Pearl Marquetry, and the remarkable Divas’ Dream Peacock Precious Marquetry with Jumping Hours and Retrograde Minutes, an opulent creation featuring a rose gold dial set with diamonds and inlaid with aventurine and malachite.
