Bulgari pays homage to the Year of the Dragon with its new Serpenti Dragoni High Jewellery collection. Merging the mythical serpent with the dragon’s grandeur, the line encapsulates strength and rebirth. Artist Tiger Pan infuses tradition into each piece, with 18-karat gold dragon scales glistening beside ruby-set eyes.
The collection, drawing from the Ouroboros symbol, promises continuity and renewal. We particularly love the Bulgari Serpenti Viper Special Edition necklace, which features a geometric serpent body with a spinel head.

The range features Akoya cultured pearls, which are said to be as pure as the dragon’s noble spirit. Standouts include the dragon brooches: one in silver with luminous yellow gold accents and another in 18-karat yellow gold with hypnotic ruby eyes.

Diane Kordas’ Animal Kingdom collection features an 18-karat rose gold dragon ring, a symbol of sovereignty and distinction in the spirit of the imperial dragon. Adorned with 0.18 carats of white diamonds, this piece offers a modern take on a protective talisman. When combined with other items from the collection, it forms a personalised set of “armour” on the hand.

Art historian-turned-goldsmith Cece Fein Hughes channels her expertise into each piece, blending enamelling—an ancient art she mastered post her tenure at Christie’s and Sotheby’s—with sustainable gold. Crafted in her London atelier and finished by master enamellers, her creations are a modern tribute to historical art, fairy tales and old-school tattoos.
