Eclettica by Bvlgari unfolds as a multi-chapter ecosystem where high jewellery, watchmaking, and leather converge
Rooted in Rome, the maison’s birthplace, the Eclettica collection draws on sculpture, painting, and architecture as its foundation. From this, Bvlgari creates pieces where contrasting ideas resolve into harmony, and where transformability, a signature of the house, is pushed to new creative heights.
At the heart of the collection lies Eclettica’s high jewellery offering, comprising more than 150 one-of-a-kind creations. Leading this is Capolavori, a suite of nine “masterpieces” that exemplify the collection’s flair for combining gemstone connoisseurship with structural expertise.
Among them, the Seres Scarf necklace stands out: crafted in white gold and composed of more than 1,180 elements, it required over 1,600 hours of work. Set with sapphires and emeralds, it is punctuated by a detachable 31.90-carat sugarloaf sapphire brooch that can be repositioned along the piece. Secret Garden builds its narrative around a 26.65-carat Padparadscha sapphire, its pink-orange glow framed by onyx, purple sapphires and cabochon emeralds.
Elsewhere, the Serpenti motif evolves into sculptural form. Infinia coils around a specially cut 7.49-carat diamond, while Illusio sketches the serpent in negative space. Spira wraps a vivid yellow diamond within a column-inspired cuff, and Imperial Heart transforms a 30.75-carat Golconda-type diamond, once said to belong to a maharaja, into the head of a softly articulated snake. Pieces such as Emerald Strata and Eclectic Embrace reinterpret Corinthian columns and Moorish mosaics as supple, almost textile-like collars and cravats, each engineered from hundreds of articulated elements.
High jewellery naturally extends into watchmaking, where Swiss horology becomes another canvas for Bvlgari’s Roman imagination. Here, the maison’s Piccolissimo micro-movements are concealed beneath elaborate jewelled compositions. Notte Stellata Diva captures a night sky on the wrist, with black opal, snow-set sapphires and diamonds beneath a domed crystal that echoes Bvlgari’s cabochon cuts, while its bracelet reinterprets the Divas’ Dream fan motif inspired by the Baths of Caracalla.
The Pavone bracelet watch transforms Juno’s peacock into a living relief of feathers, its curves paved with diamonds, rubellites and emeralds unfurl like a mosaic frieze. Meanwhile, Serpenti Dea Secret sees the house’s enduring icon evolve once more: a hexagonal bracelet coils around the wrist, while a marquise-set serpent’s head opens to reveal a diamond-set dial powered by the BVP100 calibre.
Eclettica does not stop at jewellery and watches as the collection extends into leather goods with 10 one-of-a-kind high jewellery bags. Divas’ Dream minaudières explore Art Deco geometry through sculptural silhouettes, while Dragone top-handle bags play with bold colours. Serpenti Original clutches take on an almost architectural presence, each crowned with a jewelled closure that can be detached and worn as a necklace or brooch.
