From its roots in Greek silversmithing to becoming one of Italy’s most celebrated luxury houses, Bulgari has built a legacy of bold design and vibrant craftsmanship. Founded by Sotirio Boulgaris in Rome in 1884, the brand evolved under the direction of his sons and grandsons, eventually shaping a distinct style in the 1960s with architectural forms and colorful cabochon gemstones. Over the decades, Bulgari expanded beyond jewelry into watches, fragrances, and leather goods. Now part of the LVMH group, the brand continues to blend innovation with its rich heritage.
