My Chroma

Blackpink’s Lisa Manobal was in attendance at Bvlgari’s latest event to reveal their Polychroma collection, which she was also sporting. The event took place on the beautiful Sicilian coast in the town of Taormina which is home to an ancient theatre built by the Romans in the third century BC.

What better place to show off almost 250 new creations of High Jewellery and High-End watches, including 5 milestone High Jewellery wonders and 60 millionaire pieces, the highest number ever presented.

Other guests in attendance included Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Viola Davis, Liu Yifei, and Florence Pugh.

With panoramic terrace views overlooking Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea I’m not sure whether this is a recommendation for travel or a recommendation to go broke buying high end jewellery. Why not a bit of both. An impressive total of 56 gemstones, both precious and colored, in a variety of shades and sources, come together in this collection. In addition, Polychroma has also given birth to extraordinary ultra exclusive Jewelry Bags, Eyewear and Fragrances.

After enjoying the ancient theatre guests then moved to the San Domenico Palace, a 14th century convent now acting as a luxury hotel.

The luxurious refinement of the past houses the luxury of the future, literally. During this event Bvlgari showed off it’s first ever Connected Jewellery. Fortunately this doesn’t mean all your necklaces will be bluetooth enabled now, instead the diamonds have been etched with ultra-fine micro-engraving invisible to the naked eye which transforms each piece into a gateway to its own unique story. A singular, unrepeatable code is etched directly onto the precious metal, providing instant access to detailed info about the jewels itself, such as materials, rarity, and craftsmanship. With a simple scan from a smartphone you can trace its origins, confirm it’s authenticity, and even get information about it’s warranty and aftercare.

The future of luxury is now… in a 3rd century BC amphitheatre.
