Beautifully designed and illustrated, this book is an
all-access pass inside the story of the world’s most famous family
of jewelers.
內容簡介:
A kaleidoscopic, colorful, and dazzlingly illustrated history
of Bulgari jewelry, this engaging book showcases more than three
hundred objects from the late-nineteenth century to the present
day. The color illustrations are of such high fidelity that one can
almost caress the pieces that for more than one hundred years have
emerged from the firm’s design workshops. The catalogue highlights
Bulgari’s signature use of gold coins and serpent motifs. And an
entire section is devoted to Bulgari and the film industry of the
fifties and sixties. Elizabeth Taylor and Sophia Loren are among
the house’s star-studded list of fans. Entertaining and didactical
at the same time, this book is the essential complement to any
jewelry lover’s collection.
