Several years ago, I had the privilege of diving deep into the history of iconic Bulgari collections for a series of books published by Assouline. In celebration of the divine online sale “The Bold Standard: Jewels by Bulgari and Marina B.,” Sotheby’s invited me to contribute some thoughts in a video review of Serpenti and Monete as well as the La Dolce Vita days in Rome when the collections were launched.

See it below and take a look at the collection at Sotheby’s here. Biding for the sale is open until Tuesday, May 19, 2020.
