THE NEW ELISIA COLLECTION: AN EXPLOSION OF COLOUR

Bulgari’s renown in the field of colored gems and the timeless appeal of elliptical forms have come together in a new line of sophisticated, feminine jewelry that combines contemporary creativity and traditional motifs.

The oval motif first appeared in Bulgari designs at the end of the 1960’s. It was frequently reprised during the 1970’s and 1980’s, in spectacular combinations of materials and colors.

That experience inspired the new Elisia collection, whose name unites the word “ellipse,” representing the essence of the collection, and a woman’s name, emphasizing the pure femininity characteristic of these creations.

The new Elisia collection features a vast, complete selection of jewelry, marrying white and yellow gold with enamel, coral, mother of pearl, and a great variety of colored gems and diamonds. The cabochon and faceted cuts are used in the Elisia collection to create soft, sinuous jewels that highlight their chromatic effects and geometric proportions.

The Elisia collection was conceived for sophisticated women who prefer to wear original, timeless jewelry.

Pink and green cabochon cut tourmalines are brought together to create a yellow gold necklace distinguished by a unique harmony of colors, distinctive motif of Bulgari artistry. A precious selection of stones enhances the necklace with 13.4 carats of fancy sapphires and 11 carats of emeralds surrounded by diamonds.

The exclusive pieces of fine jewelry include a unique necklace in white gold set with a 5.76 carat marquise cut diamond and more than 400 tapered and baguette cut diamonds, a yellow gold sautoir set with coral and cabochon cut emeralds, and the extremely precious and elegant white gold necklace with a ruby and diamond pendant.

The Elisia collection will be available at all Bulgari stores starting in the second half of 2007.
