More than 50 are billed as \u201cmillionaire masterpieces\u201d, evocative of their price tag; nine creations come under what Bulgari terms \u201cCapolavori\u201d, the very pinnacle of jewellery making.<\/p>\n<p>The Eclectic Embrace high jewellery collar is one such Capolavori. In white gold, the necklace\u2019s striking geometric pattern is expressed in custom-cut emeralds and black onyx and pav\u00e9-set diamonds. At its centre sits a 10.12 carat octagonal Colombian emerald. The design, which took a total of 1,000 hours of craftsmanship to finish, is inspired by the early 17th-century Sammezzano Castle near Florence, famous for its Moorish Revival mosaics.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image may contain Accessories Bracelet Jewelry Body Part Finger Hand Person Necklace and Adult\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-dkeESL cQPiWi responsive-image__image\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/251125_BVLGARI_ECLETTICA-S26_013_1551_V4_HR.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Secret Garden necklace by Bulgari.<\/p>\n<p>Eva Wang<\/p>\n<p>From centuries-old architectural marvels, Silvestri and her team moved on swiftly inspiration-wise, through ensuing centuries, geographical locations and art forms. There are Pop Art combinations of vibrant cabochon-cut gems; a white gold ring is topped with an antique 7.85 carat pear-shaped diamond and one 5.42 Colombia emerald, its toi-et-moi setting inspired by The Kiss, a 1859 painting by the Italian artist Francesco Hayez. Rome, where Bulgari was founded in 1884, and the city\u2019s many hidden courtyards gave shape to Silvestri\u2019s Secret Garden necklace. Here, the centre gem is a 26.65 carat pink-orange Padparadscha sapphire from Sri Lanka, which Silvestri says is \u201csimply extraordinary\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Silvestri is long known for her work with colourful gemstones, but Eclettica also includes pieces with a more minimal, restrained colour palette. \u201cWith this collection, we have paired a lot of yellow diamonds with white diamonds,\u201d she says. \u201cWith this collection, we were free to be creative in many different ways.\u201d Cue two pieces in the shape of the snake, Bulgari\u2019s longstanding mascot. A cuff bracelet is set with a Fancy Vivid Yellow pear-cut diamond. One of the collection\u2019s star pieces is the Serpenti Imperial Heart High Jewellery necklace. The articulated white gold necklace is created from 180 separate parts that are seamlessly linked, its sculpted shape a nod to the Venus de Milo. A rare 30.75 carat antique Golconda diamond forms the snake\u2019s iridescent, glass-like head.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shaped by Bulgari\u2019s creative director Lucia Silvestri, the collection comprises more than 150 high jewellery creations, including 15&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":73452,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12776],"tags":[11637,4955],"class_list":["post-73451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bulgari","tag-bulgari","tag-lvmh"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73451"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73451\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
