The marvels of the natural world are at the heart of the latest Bulgari jewelry and watch collection, Eden: The Garden of Wonders.
Over 140 incredible pieces are represented, including, for the first time in the brand’s history, more than 30 pieces dedicated to the emerald—Bulgari’s iconic jewel since the 1960s.
Demonstrating its mastery with colored gemstones, Bulgari achieves new levels of color vibrancy and brilliance in the new collection, with bold juxtapositions and chromatic depths.

The Emerald Glory piece opens the collection with dramatic flair. Designed for versatile wear, the transformable piece can be worn as a necklace, tiara, or detachable choker.
Eleven captivating pear-shaped emeralds are displayed at the top—surrounded by a cascade of diamonds totaling over 220 carats—in an intricate, airy arrangement that resembles the texture of flowing lace.
Over 3,000 hours of handiwork were required to complete the exquisite piece.

Mesmerizing emeralds also play a starring role in the Tribute to Paris necklace, a piece that captures the glittering lights of nighttime Paris, celebrating the artistic bond between the beautiful cities of Paris and Rome.
Requiring 2,000 hours of work, the handcrafted necklace highlights a magnificent 35,53-carat oval-shaped emerald at the center.
Fanning out on both sides are more intricately inlaid emeralds and diamonds, set to resemble the graceful slim silhouette of the Eiffel Tower.

Equal parts refined and flamboyant, the unique Emerald Venus necklace takes inspiration from the Capelvenere (Venus’s Hair in Italian), a type of fern native to the Mediterranean.
In honor of the Greek goddess of beauty, the necklace showcases a dainty yet dramatic design.
A vivid octagonal-cut 20-carat emerald is featured at the center, surrounded by an organic arrangement of branches made up of diamonds and emerald beads.

Finally, the flower-shaped Garden of Wonders earrings juxtapose the deep green of emeralds with pastel-colored petals.
Framed in platinum, round emeralds, pear spinels, and paraiba tourmalines twinkle around the central oval emerald, scattered with round and pavé-set diamonds.
