It has long been a tradition to show a woman you care, whether they are a romantic interest or beloved family, by giving them a glistening piece of jewelry. Every holiday, stores everywhere urge the sale of sparkling diamonds and gleaming gold and silver. After all, “diamonds are a girl’s best friend.” Bvlgari jewelry agrees that there is an enchanting beauty to gemstones set in precious metals, but they go about it in a complete­ly unique way. Each piece they create is intended to highlight the individual beauty of the wearer.

Bvlgari has been creating fine Italian jewelry for over 130 years. They are inspired by Roman history and seek to honor the past, such as in their Italian Gardens collections, which is inspired by garden art from the Italian Re­naissance, or their B.zero1 ROMA collection, which is influenced by the spirals of the Colosseum. The rich history of Rome can be seen throughout Bvl­gari’s collection, from the sleek, to the whimsical, and to the modern creations. Even the Bvlgari name pays homage to the ancient Roman history of the Bvlgari family by utilizing the Latin “V” instead of “U” in the name. These inspired designs are then used to high­light feminine beauty.

The BVLGARI-BVLGARI collection is inspired by ancient Roman coins and the company states that it “reflects the multifaceted nature of a woman’s beau­ty—glamorous yet subtle, powerful yet romantic— and she is always beautiful.” The Diva collection is inspired by the sensual line of the feminine silhou­ette and shows the many attributes of a charismatic woman, “strength, sensuality, au­dacity, and radiance,” where as the Serpenti collection, inspired by the snakes of ancient Egypt, recalls wisdom, seduction, and eternal renewal. Each piece by Bvlgari is a work of art that tells a story.

Equally impressive as their art­istry is Bvlgari’s commitment to social responsibility, sus­tainability, and philanthropy. In 2010, Bvlgari launched a collection of jewelry to ben­efit the Save the Children or­ganization. In Valenza, they have started a training pro­gram for young craft people and internships for talented youths. They have also created cooperatives that are benefited by their accessories site in Florence. These cooperatives seek to find work placements for disadvantaged persons, provide training and reha­bilitation for the disabled, and 10% of the leather rem­nants from the accessories site in Florence are donated to these cooperatives in order to create small leather goods. In Lecce, they work with the Borgo San Nicoloa prison to help train and rehabilitate female prisoners. In this program, the women create accessories and purses using only recycled material. Buyers of Bvlgari jewelry can rest assured that their money is going to a company that has heart and cares about the world.
