“…The hypnotic colours of extraordinary gemstones, paired with rarity and scale that feel almost beyond imagination, have always defined the world of Bvlgari High Jewellery. Yet with Eclettica, the Roman Maison enters an even more expressive realm. The latest collection elevates High Jewellery through the idea of ‘artsmanship’, a philosophy that merges artistic intuition with exceptional craftsmanship to create pieces that transcend adornment and become wearable art in its purest form…”
Eclettica unfolds through more than 150 High Jewellery and High-End Watch creations, including 15 transformable pieces, the highest number ever presented by the Maison. At the centre of this universe are nine exceptional masterpieces known as ‘Capolavori’, the Italian word for masterpieces, each embodying the height of creative audacity, aesthetic refinement, and technical virtuosity.
The collection remains deeply rooted in the spirit of Rome. Sculpture, painting, and architecture become the creative language through which Bvlgari explores volume, proportion, and daring gemstone combinations. While the Maison has long mastered the art of High Jewellery, Eclettica possesses a different kind of magnetism. These are creations that invite the eye to linger, revealing layer upon layer of extraordinary detail through every movement and surface.
THE SERES SCARF NECKLACE
Among the defining highlights is the ‘Seres Scarf’ necklace, a creation that feels almost impossibly fluid in its construction. Inspired by the graphic elegance of Art Deco, the white gold masterpiece is composed of more than 1,180 individual elements and required over 1,600 hours of craftsmanship. Sapphires and emeralds flow together like woven silk, draping around the neck with the softness of fabric, while a detachable 31.90-carat Sri Lankan sugarloaf sapphire sits at its centre like a sculptural jewel. More than a necklace, it feels like a statement of intent from a Maison determined to push beyond the limits of its own imagination.
THE EMERALD STRATA NECKLACE
The dialogue between luminous gold and intensely saturated emeralds has long been one of Bvlgari’s most recognisable signatures, and nowhere is it more striking than in the ‘Emerald Strata’ necklace. Inspired by Corinthian columns and the precision of contemporary tailoring, the rose gold design translates architectural verticality into a fluid cravat-like silhouette. Five Zambian sugarloaf emeralds totalling 26.05 carats create a commanding rhythm across the neckline, while more than 750 intricately engineered elements allow the structure to move with remarkable softness against the body.
THE SERPENTI ILLUSIO NECKLACE
Naturally, every Bvlgari High Jewellery collection invites anticipation for a new interpretation of Serpenti, and Eclettica delivers some of the most arresting expressions yet. The ‘Serpenti Illusio’ necklace plays with illusion and dimension, creating the impression of layered diamond necklaces suspended in motion. Through a rhythmic arrangement of triangular diamond motifs, the serpent gradually reveals itself like a contemporary sculpture. Crafted from more than 235 elements over 1,300 hours, the necklace centres around a 14.01-carat antique cushion-cut sapphire from Madagascar that radiates hypnotic depth.
THE SERPENTI SPIRA BRACELET
Yet perhaps the most captivating creation is the ‘Serpenti Spira’ cuff, which Lucia Silvestri describes simply as “art in wearable form”. Inspired by the strength and symmetry of Roman columns, the clasp-free white gold bracelet coils fluidly around the wrist like a living serpent. At its centre glows a 5.08-carat Fancy Vivid Yellow pear-shaped diamond, while a hidden modular structure composed of more than 340 elements conceals one of the Maison’s most ingenious technical achievements.
THE SECRET GARDEN NECKLACE
And if Eclettica is ultimately a celebration of contrast, colour, and emotional intensity, then the ‘Secret Garden’ necklace captures its spirit most beautifully. Inspired by the hidden gardens of Rome at sunset, the necklace is centred around a rare 26.65-carat pink-orange Padparadscha sapphire from Sri Lanka, a gemstone Lucia Silvestri once described as “love at first sight” for its impossibly balanced hue. Around it, cabochon emeralds, purple sapphires, delicate onyx inlays, and a constellation of baguette and round-cut diamonds create a composition that feels less like jewellery and more like a painting illuminated by light.
Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of Bvlgari Group, describes the collection as a reflection of the Maison’s identity itself: “This collection really represents us, because being eclectic is part of our DNA. Rome itself is eclectic—a place where centuries of art coexist, inspire each other and constantly generate new beauty.
Eclettica distills this spirit: different worlds, different arts, converging into one unmistakably Bvlgari creative language. And it does so with unprecedented ambition: the Capolavori creations as well as the exceptional number of multimillion masterpieces and transformable products demonstrate how far we are willing to push creativity, technique and imagination to redefine what High Jewellery and High End watchmaking can be.”
