What: The Launch of the Festa High Jewellery Collection
When: June 29, 2017
Where: Scuola Grande della Misericordia, Venice

Bulgari hosted a star-studded affair in the enchanting city of Venice to debut their newest high jewellery collection, Festa. Held in a sumptuous Italian palace, they spared no expense or detail. The evening was like a real-life Fellini movie, surreal and magical – with guests enjoying dishes by Michelin-starred chef Luca Fantin, performances by acrobats and dancers, and a set by Graziano della Nebbi. More than 100 one-of-a-kind jewels and watches have been specially created for this new collection, which epitomises the spirit of an Italian festa – pure, unbridled, joy. The collection launch also served as the debut of the brand-new book The Joy of Gems, written by jewellery historian Vivienne Becker and published by Assouline. Guests included Bulgari brand ambassadors Lily Aldridge, Bella Hadid, Shu Qi, Alicia Vikander, Lottie Moss, Jasmine Sanders, Jon Kortajarena, Japanese actress Kumiko Goto, top model and socialite Nieves Alvarez, socialite HSH Princess Lilly zu Sayn Wittgenstein Berleburg and aristo socials Isabel Getty, Ivy Getty, Viola Arrivabene and Vera Arrivabene.
