Bvlgari Eternal: Unearthing the Archives to Enshrine Them in Eternity
Archives serve as significant wellsprings of inspiration for the creative directions of jewelry houses. However, the task is not straightforward. "Drawing from the archives," the concept always sounds splendid, but in reality, it can sometimes be more debatable.
Reissues can sometimes feel a bit tepid and become an excuse to do the same thing all over again. With Bvlgari Eternal , the Roman house avoids this pitfall. Here, the archive is not a pretext but a solid starting point to give today's jewelry a design with its own personality. At the heart of the collection is Vimini, a bracelet from 1942. A true treasure in gold with a wavy, almost braided construction, hence its name which means "wicker" in Italian. The structure is not merely decorative, it was designed and conceived to live and flourish on the skin. Bulgari brings it back into play today with five gold pieces: necklace, bracelet, ring, earrings, and single earring. The material is treated and polished to achieve a stunning tactile finish, almost textile-like. /public-objects/ae91ae13-0bf7-4df0-a9a2-b4d25c5a4627-54f6cb45-cf02-4e31-b165-acb794b7da13-148.webp Image sélectionnée High jewelry creations are added to these jewels, some of which play on a very unexpected contrast thanks to a black DLC coating, a treatment more commonly seen in watchmaking. This gives certain links a darker, graphic color, which dramatically highlights the yellow gold and diamonds. Vimini hasn't aged a day — it is reinterpreted in a fair manner, with style and consistency to fit into modernity and, hopefully, into eternity!
