Bulgari has long been revered for its timeless and innovative designs, drawing inspiration from Italian craftsmanship. Each passing year sees the luxury jewelry house maintaining its innovative spirit, seamlessly weaving a mesmerizing fusion of Roman heritage and contemporary flair into every creation. Deeply rooted in the heart of Rome’s rich history, Bulgari’s pieces effortlessly capture the city’s essence and architectural opulence – both of which echo throughout the iconic B.zero1 and Cabochon collections. This month, we see Iranian model Farnoush Hamidian in Bulgari’s most mesmerizing creations, painting a picture of elegance and opulence all at once.

Introduced originally in 1999, the B.zero1 collection marries the fluid geometry of the Colosseum with the industrial-inspired Tubogas technique to create a unique vision of classical allure with modern sophistication. Since its debut, the B.zero1 collection has stood as a symbol of experimentation in the aesthetics of the avant-garde while preserving its unmistakable identity as it continues to evolve.

This commitment to innovation continues in the 2024 rendition of the B.zero1 collection, which stays true to its original design while introducing captivating new accents reimagined under the visionary lens of design legend, Zaha Hadid.

The collection’s pieces embody a harmonious symphony of codes: elegant geometries evoke a sense of fluidity, while traditional designs are reinterpreted with modernity. The result is a breathtaking collection that transcends trends, time and gender. Each piece is masterfully crafted and adorned with pavé diamonds and precious gemstones to become more than jewelry – but symbols of the innate prowess of its wearer.

Bulgari’s Cabochon collection once again stays true to its legacy by honoring its gold-smithing heritage to create contemporary works of art with each new piece. Employing the Cabochon cut to infuse the organic warmth of gold into the collection’s core, this is a collection that speaks volumes through its pure simplicity. Working only in gold, the collection’s blend of harmonious shapes, alluring volumes, and precious designs speaks to Bulgari’s mastery of material.
