Bulgari - Eternal - reimagining archives

2026-02-18

Bvlgari launches a new collection that opens a doorway to the visionary reinvention of its heritage. Debuting with Vimini creations, a contemporary interpretation of a 1942 archival bracelet, Bvlgari Eternal marks the beginning of an ongoing journey into the Maison’s creative legacy.

A new stage to celebrate the hidden treasures of the Brand’s heritage: in January 2026, the Maison unveils Bvlgari Eternal, a collection that breathes new life and creativity into foundational designs from the archives. Through a meticulous curatorial process, this initiative embarks on an ongoing journey of reinterpretation, transforming the legacy of the past into contemporary artistry.

Jean-Christophe Babin, Bvlgari CEO

“With Bvlgari Eternal, we open a new chapter in our creative story, one that bridges past and future through the power of reinvention. By delving into our archives, we honor the timeless spirit of Bvlgari while projecting it forward with a contemporary vision. This collection celebrates our ability to transform heritage into innovation, bringing hidden gems from our history to new life as modern expressions of artistry and design.”

Vimini, the inaugural chapter of Bvlgari Eternal, draws inspiration from a 1942 bracelet that emerged from the records as one of the cornerstones of the Brand’s DNA, destined to be developed in the years to come. Its distinctive design is now reinterpreted in five Jewelry creations — necklace, bracelet, ring, and two earrings — alongside one-of-a-kind High Jewelry masterpieces, each crafted to elevate the language of gold and innovation to unprecedented heights.

Born in an era when jewelry creation faced both material and social constraints imposed by World War II, the original creation stands as a testament to boundless creativity that breaks through every barrier. The undulated motif inspired by the essentiality of Italian Rationalism, unfolds in a rhythmic repetition exalted by the union of rose and yellow gold. It not only embodies the chromatic contrasts and modular design that would become hallmarks of Bvlgari’s style but also highlights the Maison’s signature use of warm gold: a defining trait of its identity, in contrast with the French tradition of platinum.

The name Vimini (wicker) emerges as naturally as the weave of its design, recalling the ancient technique mastered by Greeks and Romans to craft baskets and everyday objects from straw branches. This ancestral dexterity, passed from hand to hand across centuries, is reborn through the creativity and inventive gold-shaping mastery of Bvlgari’s designers and artisans, who transform a simple, daily inspiration into striking contemporary jewels.

The new creations

The Vimini creations in pure yellow gold mark the first step into a new era where legacy merges seamlessly with everyday elegance, while leaving space for extraordinary standalone creations of High Jewelry.

Lucia Silvestri, Bvlgari Creative Director.

“While envisioning this line, I kept the original archive piece in mind, captivated by its timeless allure. I was fascinated by its rhythmic geometry and warm tones of gold, which we reinterpreted with a modern sensibility. Each piece feels fluid and tactile, designed to move naturally with the body, contemporary, elegant, and deeply connected to our heritage.”

At the heart of the line, the bracelet draws directly from the archival jewel and elevates it to a breathtaking level of craftsmanship. A golden wave envelops the wrist, where rhomboid-shaped elements rest in perfect harmony against the skin, secured by invisible flexible links. Its contemporary boldness, infused with timeless allure, redefines style — the very essence of Bvlgari.

In harmonious dialogue, the necklace embraces the neckline with fluid grace. Its smooth touch scatters reflections of light, while its clean modularity once again highlights the artistry of dynamic movement.

Distinctive in character, the ring reinterprets the signature modules of the original model, softening them into a five-band collapsible design. A contemporary classic, it resonates with the threshold of avant-garde. Verticality finds its voice in the earrings. Articulated in a dangle, their modular grid captures the sunlit warmth of the Maison’s yellow gold, adding a refined Italian flair. A singular ear-cuff version channels the daring soul of the Vimini module itself — a stylish must-have imbued with timeless spirit.

Unveiled alongside the Jewelry collection, the world of Vimini expands into one-of-a-kind High Jewelry creations. Here, Bvlgari once again demonstrates its talent for pioneering innovative materials: Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) — an avant-garde coating for its extraordinary hardness, resistance, and friction-reducing properties — discovers an unprecedented dimension in jewelry. In Bvlgari’s hands, this futuristic material becomes a chromatic force: its deep, velvety black creates a dramatic contrast with radiant yellow gold and the sparkle of diamonds, infusing the creations with resolute charisma.

A visionary interplay of radiant yellow gold, daring black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) and carré-set diamond pavé offers a strikingly modern texture for the wearer. Crafted in both horizontal and vertical compositions, these creations include chokers, classic necklaces, and avant-garde poncho-style designs.

The Bvlgari Eternal journey will be accompanied by the archival hallmark BE: a seal of heritage, imagination, and enduring artistry.
