GLAM / AMOUR

Few brands have captured the essence of timeless elegance and seductive allure as effortlessly as Bvlgari. For 75 years, the Serpenti collection has been a symbol of sophistication, power, and style. As we celebrate this iconic anniversary, Glam/Amour takes you on a journey through the history and present of Bvlgari’s Serpenti, where beauty and luxury intertwine like the coils of a serpent.

To truly appreciate the Serpenti collection, we must first delve into its remarkable history. Bvlgari, an Italian jewelry brand founded in 1884, introduced the Serpenti motif to its designs in the 1940‘s. Inspired by the eternal allure of the serpent, the collection began as a bracelet watch adorned with precious gemstones. It was a bold departure from the traditional round watch shapes of the time, and it quickly became a symbol of glamour and audacity.

The Serpenti Collection evolved over the decades, embracing new materials, designs, and horological innovations. The ’40s and ’50s saw the serpent’s head and tail become bolder, featuring magnificent cabochon-cut gemstones for eyes. The ’60s brought a sleeker, more minimalist look with flexible Tubogas bracelets, while the ’70s and ’80s celebrated opulence with bold, gold designs.

Throughout these transformations, the Serpenti remained a symbol of status and luxury. Hollywood icons like Elizabeth Taylor, Priyanka Chopra Jones, Zendaya and Bella Hadid were among the collection’s devoted admirers, further cementing its legendary status.

Fast forward to today, and the Serpenti collection continues to captivate with its contemporary interpretations. Bvlgari has successfully fused the heritage of the past with the trends of the present, creating watches and jewelry that are both timeless and fashion-forward.

One of the most remarkable aspects of the Serpenti Collection is its versatility. Whether you prefer a subtle touch of elegance or a bold statement piece, there’s a Serpenti design to suit your style. The collection boasts a wide range of materials, including 18k gold, steel, diamonds, and colorful gemstones. The Serpenti’s coiling design lends itself beautifully to bracelets, necklaces, rings, and, of course, watches.

As Bvlgari celebrates the 75th anniversary of the Serpenti Collection, they have unveiled an extraordinary heritage exhibition that pays tribute to this iconic symbol of Italian luxury. The exhibition, which you can explore at Bvlgari’s dedicated page, takes you on a journey through time, showcasing the evolution of Serpenti designs and the craftsmanship that goes into creating each piece.

The exhibition also offers a glimpse into the creative process behind the Serpenti collection. From the initial sketches to the meticulous selection of gemstones and the precise craftsmanship required to bring each piece to life, visitors can gain a deeper appreciation for the artistry and dedication that make Serpenti a true masterpiece.
