The Bash: After months of construction, BVLGARI San Francisco feted the grand opening of its doors on Union Square to its largest store in the U.S. with a magnificent soiree hosted by Nicola Bulgari , Vice Chairman and grandson of Founder Sotirio Bulgari, and USA Managing Director, Veronica Trenk. Guests sipped libations while lusting over baubles amid jazz by Patrick Wolfe and DJ Max Chipchase. In the spirit of the Oscars, a private screening of some of Bulgari’s most treasured Hollywood moments were presented on-screen.

The Bling: A spectacular collection of one-of-a-kind jewels and minaudieres from BVLGARI’s Vintage Archive Collection, all of which were on-display at the brand’s 125th anniversary retrospective exhibition in Rome as well as the assembly of a Sotirio Bulgari watch and a breathtaking diamond and sapphire parue.
