This collection of twenty-one jewels provides a broad view of Bulgari's creations in the last twenty years. Many of the motifs that can be seen, such as the "parentesi" and the "alveare", have become classics in their own right. The house's penchant for bold colour combinations and the mixing of precious and semi-precious gemstones is also evident. A particularly beautiful example can be found in lot 855, a gem-set necklace from the "Bulgari Collection Internationale", which is extremely colourful and exhibits the superb craftsmanship for which they are well-known.
Also present in the group is a selection of six Marina B. jewels. Her innovative designs have no doubt stamped the direction of late 20th Century jewellery. These particular examples are united in their wearability and versatility. Created primarily in 18K gold with diamond or semi-precious stone detail, they are ideal for the modern lifestyle.
