STYLE Edit: Bulgari’s romantic floral Fiorever jewellery collection inspired by Ancient Rome
The Italian brand’s high-jewellery line, with an eight-petal flower as its motif, features Spanish actress Ursula Corbero as its brand ambassador
Italian high jewellery house Bulgari has unveiled its new Fiorever collection.
Fiorever, a portmanteau of “fiore”, flower in Italian, and “forever”, is a modern interpretation of la dolce vita – a life of heedless pleasure and luxury.
The collection draws from Bulgari’s Roman roots and features the wild bloom of an eight-petal flower as its motif.
There are four outer petals and four inner petals in its statement flower, with the petals tilting slightly upwards to indicate bloom and sculptural volume.
The eight is a universal symbol of good fortune.
The floral motif, which is undoubtedly a constant influence on fine jewellery collections, no matter the season, is also present in ancient Roman art, where Bulgari draws its artistic legacy.
Bulgari derived inspiration from the “eternal” cities of Ancient Rome, including Pompeii and the garden frescoes of Villa de Livia.
The Fiorever collection flower features the highest quality diamonds (colour D-F, clarity IF-VVS) and, at its centre, solitaire diamond of between 0.10 and 0.50 carats.
