Materials can be shaped infinitely, but it takes a combination of inspiration, imagination, and skilled craftsmanship to transform them into something unique. Rooted in the tradition of ancient Roman goldsmiths, where artisans preferred to cut pieces by polishing, "Bvlgari Cabochon" pays tribute to the most coveted jewel of the Roman Empire. The new creations achieve a perfect balance between form and volume, showcasing a three-dimensional effect that takes Bvlgari's quest for the joy of beauty to the extreme. Like a drop of gold trickling down a fingertip or shining on the décolleté, each Bvlgari Cabochon radiates the vitality and beauty of matter, just as an artistically cut gem reveals its inner essence. In this way, the precious metal is transformed into a piece of jewellery that embodies the volume, light and three-dimensionality that characterise the magnificent Bvlgari gem.

Bulgari is rooted in the ancient goldsmith tradition, elevating ancient Roman techniques to the level of contemporary art. Embracing this precious metal as a symbol of hardness and timelessness, the House's skilled artisans transform it into something full of life. Durable yet supple, its lines express a dynamic soul, while its strength and weight are expressed in sculptural volumes and graphic designs with a twist.

The new Bvlgari Cabochon necklace and ring, available in two versions in 18K yellow and pink gold, highlight their harmonious beauty with a unique juxtaposition of flexibility and strength, form and volume. The sleek, rounded shapes of the jewellery accentuate its three-dimensionality, while the two curved side cuts offer a unique glimpse into the essence of the material, offering the same insight into the inner power of a perfectly cut gem. Like drops of molten pure gold, the necklace and ring, created by combining two cabochons symmetrically, embody not only matter but also the diverse forms of life.

Embodied with a wish for eternal love and happiness, each Bvlgari Cabochon creation is a symbol of love and good fortune, as well as a symbol of the accumulation of timeless modernity and culture that is unique to Bvlgari. These versatile creations can be worn anytime, anywhere as standalone statement pieces, or can be freely mixed and matched with other icons from the Bvlgari Signature Collection, or layered together for added enjoyment.

At Bvlgari, the harmony of volumes is an art in itself, and jewellery is never simply the translation of two-dimensional designs into three dimensions; rather, it is a creation that gives form to space. In its constant pursuit of its visionary and unique creativity, Bvlgari has found one of its most successful expressions in the versatile use of the cabochon cut. An ancient technique widely used by goldsmiths and jewellers during the Roman Empire, the cabochon's polished surface and rounded volumes allow the gemstone's qualities to shine through and reveal its unique character. This is precisely because of the tiny inclusions that reveal the gem's strong personality and its millennia-long history of formation.

The smooth cabochon cut stone first appeared in Bvlgari High Jewellery creations in the 1950s, when the Paris-based brand sought to use faceted precious stones exclusively, and quickly became one of the house's signature styles, an enduring symbol of the house's bold and ever-innovative approach to jewellery. Today, the cabochon cut defines a creative, colourful and glamorous - unmistakably "Bvlgari" - approach to High Jewellery that is distinctive.

Understanding that the path to the future can draw strength from the past, Bvlgari maximizes the aesthetic potential of the cut in its new collection, enhancing its material allure. From the virtuosity of gem-cutting to the traditions of goldsmithing, the brand draws on all its jewellery know-how to combine tradition with innovative creativity, creating creations that radiate fluid movement and beauty.

Pure, essential shapes emerge from drops of gold. The interaction between skin and metal, form and substance, between people and objects, unfolds in a sensual dance of light and shadow. The noble brilliance flowing across the smooth gold surface brings the material to life dynamically, with the fluidity of liquid. The Bvlgari Cabochon collection offers a visually immersive tactile experience enveloped in dazzling yellow and pink gold jewelry creations, while its powerful graphics and impactful beauty invite you on a journey of constant discovery and pure joy.

The new Bvlgari Cabochon collection will be available in advance on the Bvlgari official website from October 18, 2023, and in select Bvlgari stores from November 1.
