Bvlgari presents new Polychroma collection in Sicily

27 may 2025

The famous ancient theatre of Taormina in Sicily hosted the presentation of Bvlgari’s new Polychroma collection with great fanfare.

High jewellery art, represented by iconic items from the collection, which includes 250 pieces of jewellery and watches, was demonstrated in the format of a theatrical choreographic show, for which Greece is famous - from ancient Greek tragedies to current modern productions.

The line of five Polychroma jewellery watches amazes with the beauty of the precious stones used.

The design of the Gioco di Forme e Colori watch features a secret - a removable brooch decorated with a 12-carat tanzanite.

The Notte Stellata Diva watch with yellow diamonds and blue sapphires is inspired, as the name suggests, by the atmosphere of a Roman night - with tiny sculptural fireflies flying in the dark night.

The Nuvole Preziose model, with a central yellow sapphire weighing 6.8 carats, is inspired by the architectural heritage of Rome. The octagonal pendant watch recalls the geometry of the basilica's vaults.

The Tubogas e Colori design, with a transparent purple amethyst dial, features a complex play of colors and the configuration of precious and semi-precious stones.

The Serpenti Aeterna bracelet watch, another modern interpretation of the Bvlgari brand's signature snake, is available in two versions: with sapphires and emeralds.

The new collection demonstrates the mastery and exceptional sense of colour and form in the design of the renowned brand.
