1 9 6 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I The ingenuity of the architecture of a Bulgari jewel is all the more striking when one examines the details. In this case, the coils of the serpent reveal a meticulous system of openwork along the sides and back, for the purposes of allowing light to penetrate and maximise the sparkle of the pave. And for the first time, perfect cuts of rubellite or peridot bring surprising life to the reptile’s head. The infinite facets of these rare stones of the highest quality provide a counterpoint to the nuances of the gold and the luminosity of the diamonds, making these new creations all the more unique and precious. In the necklaces, perfect harmony is achieved in the alternation between diamond studded scales, the beads of the rubellite or peridot and the subtleties of a singularly fascinating stone, the moon quartz. The rigour of the design blends fluently into the lightness bestowed by the delicate chromatic chords, based on softly transparent and luminous hues in harmony with the supporting structure of gold. The same compositional principles find expression in the earrings that accompany the necklaces. After some 60 years since the creation of the first Serpenti, with its powerful symbolism of eternal renewal, the new collection confirms this famous motif’s status as a contemporary icon, with a history that has since become legend.
