In February, the show will feature for the first time in Mainland China, an exclusive exhibition of Bulgari jewels from the personal collection of Elizabeth Taylor.
Entitled “125 Years of Italian Magnificence,” the exhibition will bring together nearly 600 exquisite masterpieces, including jewelry, watches, clocks and decorative objects, created from the opening of the first Bulgari store on Via Sistina, Rome, in 1884, through to the present day. This fascinating retrospective will illustrate the origin and ongoing success of a distinctive style of jewelry, and celebrate the extraordinary inventiveness and high level of craftsmanship that characterizes all Bulgari creations.
