56 ELLE DECORSTYLE SHOWCASE
defines Bulgari’s love affair with
film, a relationship the Italian house
honors in its new high-jewelry col-
lection, Cinemagia.
Comprising 187 pieces, many of
which took more than 500 hours to
make, the line includes a mother-
of-pearl, carnelian, chrysoprase,
sugilite, lapis lazuli, ruby, pink
sapphire, and diamond neck-
lace whose fairy motifs were
inspired by Tinker Bell. There is
also a malachite, wood, tourma-
line, and diamond bib necklace
featuring an expressionistic ren-
dering of Roman maritime pines—
a nod to the 1962 Dino Risi movie
Il Sorpasso. Meanwhile, an ame-
thyst, tourmaline, moonstone,
emerald, and diamond necklace
evokes the sweetness of candy, and
a matching necklace and brooch of
coral, fancy yellow diamonds, and
white diamonds is the bejeweled
equivalent of a box of theater pop-
corn. Leave it to colored diamonds
to make it pop. bulgari.com ◾I
N THE 1964 MOVIE THE VISIT,
Ingrid Bergman plays Karla, a
wealthy woman who returns
to her impoverished home-
town, from which she was
unceremoniously exiled, seek-
ing revenge. Bergman reportedly
chose Bulgari jewels to telegraph
her character’s affluence, picking
out a platinum-and-diamond
necklace with a 70.75-carat emer-
ald cabochon and a gold-and-
diamond parure from the brand’s
Via Condotti store in Rome. This is
just one link in the long chain thatABOVE: Bulgari Cinemagia necklace
