These Spectacular Jewelry Pieces Take Their Cue from Classic Films
In the 1964 movie The Visit, Ingrid Bergman plays Karla, a wealthy woman who returns to her impoverished hometown, from which she was unceremoniously exiled, seeking revenge. Bergman reportedly chose Bulgari jewels to telegraph her character’s affluence, picking out a platinum-and-diamond necklace with a 70.75-carat emerald cabochon and a gold-and-diamond parure from the brand’s Via Condotti store in Rome.
This is just one link in the long chain that defines Bulgari’s love affair with film, a relationship the Italian house honors in its new high-jewelry collection, Cinemagia.
Comprising 187 pieces, many of which took more than 500 hours to make, the line includes a mother-of-pearl, carnelian, chrysoprase, sugilite, lapis lazuli, ruby, pink sapphire, and diamond neck-lace whose fairy motifs were inspired by Tinker Bell.
There is also a malachite, wood, tourmaline, and diamond bib neck-lace featuring an expressionistic rendering of Roman maritime pines—a nod to the 1962 Dino Risi movie Il Sorpasso.
Meanwhile, an amethyst, tourma-line, moonstone, emerald, and diamond necklace evokes the sweetness of candy, and a matching necklace and brooch of coral, fancy yellow diamonds, and white diamonds is the bejeweled equivalent of a box of theater popcorn. Leave it to colored diamonds to make it pop.
