Bvlgari, the legendary Roman jewellery house, has once again redefined the boundaries of high jewellery with its spectacular “Polychroma” collection. Introduced in 2025, this collection is a vibrant celebration of colour, geometry, and rare gemstones, embodying the brand’s signature aesthetic of bold elegance and fearless design. With Polychroma, Bvlgari blends architectural precision with natural wonder, creating some of the most luxurious and eye-catching jewellery pieces the world has seen in recent years.
A Kaleidoscope of Gemstones
The heart of the Polychroma collection lies in its breathtaking use of colored gemstones. Rather than playing it safe with traditional diamonds alone, Bvlgari showcases an extraordinary array of vibrant stones, including emeralds, sapphires, spinels, and tourmalines. Each gem is handpicked for its unique character, hue, and luminosity, reflecting the house’s long-standing passion for color and contrast.
One of the standout pieces is the Magnus Emerald necklace, featuring a jaw-dropping 241-carat Colombian emerald, the largest ever set by Bvlgari. The stone’s deep green intensity is set off by an architectural necklace design, emphasising its grandeur and rarity. Another highlight, the Cosmic Vault necklace, centres around a 123-carat sugarloaf sapphire from Sri Lanka, demonstrating the brand’s commitment to sourcing truly exceptional gemstones.
Architectural Design Meets Ancient Inspiration
“Polychroma” means “many colors” and the collection lives up to this name with stunning diversity. But beyond the use of color, Bvlgari has infused each piece with architectural intent. The designs draw inspiration from Roman arches, mosaic patterns, and ancient temples, all modernized with clean lines and contemporary silhouettes. This fusion of past and present, of history and innovation, gives Polychroma a timeless yet forward-looking feel.
Every piece in the collection showcases intricate craftsmanship. Gemstones are set in ways that allow light to pass through, creating dazzling reflections and shadow play. Settings are precise, often combining asymmetry with balance, an aesthetic that has become one of Bvlgari’s signatures.
Luxury in Scale and Craftsmanship
Polychroma is not just a display of beautiful gems, it’s a statement of luxury in scale and detail. The collection includes over 250 pieces, with around 60 of them being ultra-exclusive creations aimed at the world’s most discerning collectors. Many of these items fall into the highest tiers of price and rarity, positioning the collection at the very peak of the global high jewellery market.
Each creation requires hundreds of hours of meticulous handcrafting by Bvlgari’s master artisans in their Roman atelier. Some of the more complex pieces, such as convertible necklaces and multi-functional designs, involve engineering-level planning. These are not just accessories, they are works of wearable art.
Reinventing the Role of High Jewellery
With Polychroma, Bvlgari does more than celebrate gemstones; it redefines what high jewellery can be. The collection is an invitation to embrace individuality, to see luxury not just in terms of material value but in bold expression. The pieces are unapologetically grand, yet each tells a unique story through the combination of stone, form, and concept.
This narrative quality is key. Whether it’s the geometric echo of ancient Roman architecture or the emotional pull of color symbolism, each piece connects with the wearer on a deeper level. It’s jewellery that commands attention, but also sparks conversation and introspection.
A New Standard for the Future
In a market increasingly focused on minimalism and understated elegance, Bvlgari’s Polychroma collection offers a powerful alternative, maximalist design done with precision and heart. It sets a new benchmark for what high jewellery can aspire to: fearless, thoughtful, and undeniably luxurious.
As we look to the future of jewellery design, Polychroma stands as proof that bold vision and refined craftsmanship can coexist. For collectors, connoisseurs, and lovers of beauty, this collection is a celebration of what happens when art, history, and nature converge under the expert hands of one of the world’s most iconic jewellery houses.
