The Best Pieces from Bulgari’s Eden, The Garden of Wonders High Jewellery Collection

Enter an extraordinary world of marvellous delights in Bulgari Eden, The Garden of Wonders, where the Roman jeweller presents over 140 unique high jewellery creations to discover

Every year, Bulgari unveils a major high jewellery collection in grandiose fashion at an international event attended by VIPs, celebrities and friends of the brand. This year was no different, as the Roman jeweller debuted its new Bulgari Eden, The Garden of Wonders collection at an exclusive celebration in Paris, France. Held at the Italian Embassy amid lush greenery, floral displays and the warmth of natural light flooding into the space, it made for the most perfect setting to discover the new masterpieces.

As its name suggests, the collection takes inspiration from nature. But more than just directly emulating flora and fauna, Bulgari goes a step beyond, tapping into the boundless creativity and imagination the house is known for to deliver its own interpretation of what nature has to offer.

With over 140 pieces in this collection, Bulgari Eden, The Garden of Wonders is a true representation of the brand’s incredible craftsmanship, innovation and artistry. To make it even more special, it is the first time that Bulgari has created more than 30 pieces dedicated to emeralds in a high jewellery collection.

Of these, there are many show-stopping creations such as the Emerald Glory necklace—a transformable piece that is a true testament to Bulgari's mastery of high jewellery. The necklace is versatile with a detachable choker and can also be worn as a tiara. Its exquisite design has a texture that replicates the fluidity and lightness of lace, and possesses a regal air with its 11 pear-shaped emeralds from Colombia totalling 42.02 carats, surrounded by a cascade of white diamonds totalling over 220 carats.

In order to achieve this look of softness, it took artisans over 3,000 hours to complete the necklace. Many single parts have to be carefully connected together, such as the white gold elements that are individually moulded to best frame the 73 pear-shaped brilliant-cut diamonds and allow them to show off their sparkle.

Another stunning emerald creation is the Tribute to Paris necklace, which celebrates the artistic bond between two cities of great significance to Bulgari, Rome and Paris. Glittering like the most glamorous Parisian nights, the necklace features a whopping 35.53-carat oval-shaped Colombian emerald surrounded by exquisite inlays of emeralds and diamonds that evoke the Eiffel tower’s unmistakeable, slender silhouette.

For many jewellers like Bulgari, its magnificent masterpieces are also a way to mark significant moments in history. Before the late Queen Elizabeth II died this September, she had celebrated her 70th year of service to the people of the United Kingdom, the Realms and the Commonwealth. To honour her Platinum Jubilee, Bulgari created the Jubilee Emerald Garden tiara, a piece as unique as the legendary woman who inspired it.

It took about 1,500 hours to complete the tiara, which features a remarkable 63.44-carat emerald with an elegantly carved flower motif. Carved stones like this one only come from Jaipur, India, and are made according to a tradition that traces back to the Mughal Empire of the 16th century, which took inspiration from Persian art and its lively floral patterns. Along with the theme of Eden, The Garden of Wonders, these historic motifs also inspired the floral designs of the tiara.

Beyond the emeralds, there are many outstanding pieces in this collection that highlight other gems, such as the Serpenti Ocean Treasure necklace—a work of art comprising an intertwined platinum and diamond snake that seems to claim possession of an exceptional 61.30-carat drop-shaped Sri Lankan sapphire.

As an icon of the brand, the serpent appears again in pieces like the Serpenti Spinel Embrace necklace crafted from pink gold and diamonds. Here, the slithering creature guards a staggering 25.70-carat drop-shaped pink spinel from Tajikistan—one of the most breathtaking spinels ever mounted by Bulgari.

And there is so much more for jewellery lovers to discover in this collection. From Bulgari’s candy coloured pieces with variations of gems to timeless, white diamonds pieces, there is something special for everyone who steps into Bulgari Eden, The Garden of Wonders.

Now, the only question is: which of these pieces will we see you wearing at the Tatler Ball 2022?
