Bulgari : treasures of Rome / Vincent Meylan. by Meylan, Vincent, author. Woodbridge, Suffolk, England : ACC Art Books, [2018] Subjects Bulgari (Firm : Italy)   Jewelry -- Italy -- Pictorial works. ISBN:  9781851498796 (hardcover) : 1851498796 (hardcover) Description:  295 pages : illustrations (chiefly color) ; 31 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "A jewel is more than an arrangement of precious stones - it is a story. This is the principle on which Vincent Meylan, author of 'Christie's: The Jewellery Archives Revealed, Boucheron: The Secret Archives, Van Cleef & Arpels: Treasures and Legends', and 'Mellerio: Jewellers to the Queens of Europe', has written his latest book. Now, with unparalleled access to the Bulgari archives, Meylan guides us on an intimate journey through the lives of the clients, both famous and infamous, who have given this pre-eminent Mediterranean jeweller their patronage. Paris may be the traditional home of the jeweller elite, but Bulgari embraces its Roman origins. From their early creations, inspired by Byzantine and Islamic architecture, to designs like the 'Trombino' ring and 'Serpenti' bracelets, which are still relevant today, Bulgari gracefully navigates the line between contemporary and timeless. Their client roster reflects their prestige. Nobility and celebrity intermingle; the Countess di Frasso shopped at Bulgari with her Hollywood superstar-beau, Gary Cooper, as did the Infanta Beatriz of Spain and Princess Maria Jose of Belgium. Richard Burton wooed Elizabeth Taylor with glittering Bulgari jewels, while the decadent marriage of Tyrone Power and Linda Christian featured Bulgari wedding rings. But these jewels tell tales of many genres, not just romance: from exiled Iranian Shahs to Count Cini of Monselice, held for ransom by the SS and released in exchange for Bulgari jewels"--Publisher's description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 739.27094 Me Checked In Add Copy to MyList
