When in Rome

Jeweller Bulgari has released the Parentesi 2007 collection, a line of modular jewellery built around a Roman motif. Using a technique of repeating certain elements within one piece of jewellery, the collection consists of necklaces, pendants, bracelets and rings in different sizes. Choose from solid white- or yellow-gold pieces. Lovers of luxury can also opt for demi-pave or pave diamond pieces. For an edgier option, try the white gold and steel Parentesi pendant with pave diamonds strung on a black cotton cord (right; HK$28,900). Or, try the large modular yellow-gold band ring with demi-pave diamonds (above; HK$32,300). The collection is available at Bulgari, Chater House, Central, tel: 2523 8057.
