Lifestyle 55 THE HYPNOTIC EYES OF SERPENTI in a gaze may change the very course of history; every love story begins with that very first look. The new Serpenti collection is as multifaceted as it is innovative. The new designs focus on the penetrating stare of the snake. At the centrepiece of Serpenti design is the precious snakehead, inspired by the 1960s–70s Bulgari serpents that heralded this dangerous yet hypnotically beautiful element of the animal. Snakes are known for their ability to seduce and hypnotise their prey. BVLGARI, the master of the aesthetic, is renowned for harnessing this same power. The motif’s core design element has been able to lend a heralded versatility to its artisanal patterns. Imitating the natural beauty of a snake’s scales, the spellbinding effect is created from precious jewels and metals, and interpreted in countless ways: repeating in diamonds for a full pavé bracelet; carved into the scales of a pink-gold ring; in a net design to lightly encircle pavé diamonds around the wrist; or as the precious angular markings atop the snakehead. Bulgari introduces the new Serpenti jewellery collection, with a new design that encapsulates the bold nature of the snake. Entirely reimagined into striking new shapes, Serpenti focuses on the power of the eyes in 2016. Shining in multifaceted expressions of seduction, the precious rings, bracelets and necklaces glorify the ‘hearts of the head’ in jewelled designs that sparkle with desire. Indeed, the gemstone is uncannily similar to the eye: every jewel is as individual as every iris. Such inimitability has a captivating appeal, as the hypnotic, almond-shaped eyes of a snake – or those of a beautiful woman – can hold a power as incomparable as it is unconquerable.
