Bulgari’s Eclettica Collection Arrives in the US in Dazzling Fashion

On Wednesday evening, Bulgari transformed a historic Palm Beach waterfront estate to celebrate the U.S. debut of its latest high jewelry collection, Eclettica. The exclusive gala, which took place at a 1920s home designed by legendary architect Addison Mizner, had all the hallmarks of a 1920s ball. Guests, including Venus Williams, Chanel Iman, and Becca Bloom, arrived to the sounds of a big band, followed by a cocktail reception featuring a model presentation of the stunning collection.

As the night progressed, guests watched a live performance by Jewel, then enjoyed a seated dinner under a transformed tennis pavilion that evoked the collection’s colorful essence. Dinner gave way to dancing as a DJ turned up the energy. The evening was a fitting arrival for Eclettica, which debuted in spring and dazzled on maison ambassadors Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Anne Hathaway at the Academy Awards. The collection includes 15 transformable high-jewelry masterpieces as well as 50 “millionaire pieces,” all of which are evocative of the chromatic vocabulary of painting, the dimensionality of sculpture, and the precise balance and proportion of Italian architecture.

“Palm Beach embodies a distinctive spirit of effortless sophistication, making it a natural home for Bulgari,” said Bulgari CEO Laura Burdese. “We are delighted to bring Eclettica to this extraordinary destination, where its bold artistic vision and exceptional craftsmanship find a natural resonance with the city’s vibrant character.”

The evening coincided with the opening of the maison’s Palm Beach boutique on Worth Avenue, the heart of a renowned shopping and dining district. The 3,538-square-foot space features design touches that nod to Palm Beach’s creative culture and Bulgari’s storied history, such as a Serpenti Chandelier by Venini. A Pictalab decorative panel in the store marries the maison’s Roman history with the landscape of the boutique’s surroundings. The one-story location is tailored to showcase a curated mix of high jewelry, watches, handbags, and more from the Serpenti, Divas’ Dream, Tubogas, B.Zero1, and Octo collections.

The opening of our new boutique further strengthens our presence in the region and reflects our desire to build even closer ties with this remarkable community,” Burdese added. “We are proud to share Bulgari’s Roman heritage, contemporary vision and passion for excellence with our clients in Palm Beach, whose appreciation for the maison makes this a particularly meaningful moment for us.”
