Founded in Rome in 1884 by Greek silversmith Sotirios Bulgari, Bulgari has grown into one of the most celebrated names in luxury jewelry. Known for its bold use of colored gemstones, cabochon cuts, and distinctive Italian style, the House redefined glamour through iconic collections like Serpenti, Monete, and B.zero1. Drawing inspiration from Roman architecture and the energy of the Dolce Vita era, Bulgari’s designs are recognized for their sculptural volumes, vibrant palettes, and unmistakable elegance.
Favored by screen legends such as Elizabeth Taylor and Sophia Loren, Bulgari quickly became a symbol of modern sophistication. Its innovations in jewelry design also extended into horology, leather goods, and high fragrance. Today, under LVMH ownership and the creative leadership of Lucia Silvestri, Bulgari continues to evolve its legacy—uniting Italian heritage with bold contemporary vision for a new generation of collectors and connoisseurs. In December 2024, Doyle sold an emerald cut platinum and diamond ring by Bulgari for $1,175,250, affirming the boundless interest from contemporary audeinces for the timeless jeweler.
