The brand is over 137 years old and has a rich history of success and growth. Join us as we explore the legacy of this luxury brand, from 1884 and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Humble Beginnings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/silver-ring.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78396\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bvlgari was founded by the Greek silversmith, Sotirios Voulgaris. His family has a long list of creating silver goods but instead of remaining in Greece to fulfil his place as a silversmith, he immigrated to Italy in 1880 from Greece with very little in his pocket but with big dreams. He started in Naples, but then migrated to Rome in 1881.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ALSO SEE: <a href=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/facts-about-bvlgari\/\">7 Benevolent Facts About Bvlgari<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Official Store Opening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/bulgari-store.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78380\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The store opened in Rome in 1884 and was named \u2018Bulgari\u2019 the phonetic pronunciation of the owner\u2019s surname. The store started strictly selling silver jewellery. However, its popularity was based on Sotirios\u2019s pieces that were inspired by ancient Roman architecture, mosaics, and coins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The First Flagship Store<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Via-dei-Condotti-street.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78381\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The next store to open was in 1905 with his sons, Constantino and Giorgio. This store was located in the prestigious area of Via dei Condotti street (leading up to the Spanish steps). With true passion and professionalism, Sotirios tried to popularize his brand all around the country. The prime address was meant to appeal to well-heeled British and American tourists visiting Rome. The Bulgari store quickly built its reputation for luxurious, exceptionally well-crafted Greek and Roman-inspired jewellery designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expanding To Other Luxury Accessories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/bvlgari-perfume-1024x799.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78382\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the house became more successful, the company introduced bags, accessories, perfumes, and other kinds of luxury jewellery. In 1992 the brand launched its first fragrance called \u2018Eau Parfum\u00e9e au Th\u00e9 Vert\u2019. Perfumes for both women and men are another one of the company\u2019s jewels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Death of Sotiris<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Constantino-and-Giorgio-Bulgari.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78383\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sotiris passed away in 1932, leaving his business to his sons. Fortunately, Constantino and Giorgio Bulgari had the same aspirations as their father and continued his legacy with even better designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Birth of BVLGARI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/bvlgari-brand.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78388\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the store was originally dubbed \u2018Bulgari\u2019, in 1934 they decided to change the title to be displayed in classical Latin alphabet as \u2018BVLGARI\u2019. This is for stylistic purposes and pays homage to the founder\u2019s Greek background and birth surname \u2018Voulgaris\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Effects of World War II On The Business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/serpenti-watch.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78389\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>World War II soon broke out which limited their access to certain materials. Luckily, Constantino and Giorgio had the same ambition as their father and pushed the envelope even further. The sons then decided to use yellow gold and became more creative with what they had. During this time, the Serpenti bracelet-watches were invented.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Splash of Colour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Bvlgari-jewels-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78386\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>By the mid-1950\u2019s, Bvlgari took it a step further by incorporating vibrant chromatic combinations of precious gemstones in rich colours. Of course, these incredible materials and designs became popular, very quickly. Soon after, Bvlgari was known as the \u2018masters of coloured gemstones\u2019.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Jewellers of The Stars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/sophia-loren-bvlgari.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78391\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bvlgari\u2019s popularity soon became worldwide. In fact, Bvlgari jewellery even featured on the silver screens as A-list celebrities like Sofia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Anita Ekberg, Gina Lollobrigida, Ingrid Bergman, Naomi Campbell and Jessica Chastain who developed a taste for Bvlgari jewellery. In the 50\u2019s and 60\u2019s, dolce vita was everything and at the time, there was nothing more glamorous than Bvlgari jewellery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Elizabeth Taylor\u2019s Fervour For Bvlgari Jewellery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/bvlgari-emerald-necklace.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78393\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The house continued to enjoy an affair with stars of the silver screen, even playing a supporting role in films like Casino and American Gigolo. But no celebrity, or civilian for that matter, can rival Elizabeth Taylor in her fervour for Bulgari.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When she was filming \u2018Cleopatra\u2019 outside Rome in 1962, Elizabeth Taylor quite literally became obsessed with Bvlgari. One of the most famous jewels from the period was the magnificent emerald and diamond necklace, gifted to her by Richard Burton, with whom she had an affair at the time. Apparently, Mr Burton remarked of his 1963 visit to the flagship store in Via dei Condotti street to buy Elizabeth Taylor a ring: \u201cI introduced her to beer, and she introduced me to Bvlgari.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Internation Growth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/bvlgari-watch.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78394\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The brand was rapidly expanding; the first international Bvlgari\u2019s stores were founded in 1970 in New York, Paris, Geneva, and Monte Carlo. Bvlgari entered the world of luxury watchmaking. The Bvlgari Time Company was founded in Switzerland\u2019s capital in 1980. Eventually, the brand has perfected the art of watchmaking and is now known as world-class watchmakers in addition to their other successes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ALSO SEE: <a href=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/the-price-of-bvlgari-sunglasses\/\">The Price of Bvlgari Sunglasses<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bvlgari Hotels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/luxity.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/bvlgari-hotels.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78395\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2001, Bvlgari branched into the hospitality business and opened an international chain of luxury hotels in cosmopolitan cities and select resorts destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The luxury hotels boast a timeless glamour with gorgeous Bvlgari jewellery designs in every hotel.
