Now, he is turning his attention to Bulgari. "Bulgari, Treasures of Rome" brings to life some of Bulgari's most iconic pieces and the clients who patronized the jewelry house. Distinctly Roman in its inspiration, which encompasses Byzantine and Islamic architecture, Bulgari is known for several enduring designs like the "Trombino" ring and "Serpenti" bracelets. Meylan explores the development of these and other Bulgari pieces, from mine to workshop to model. Meylan was granted "unprecedented access...

Conch pearls are produced naturally by the queen conch mollusk, found in the Caribbean. Most are elongated or baroque in shape; near-round specimens are extremely rare. They were used in the Victorian era for the carving of cameos, and became even more popular during King Edward's reign. They also can be seen in some Art Nouveau jewelry pieces. Their popularity lasted through about the Art Deco period, after which they dis...

Sotheby's Diamond s, the group's retail boutique, revealed the 102.34-carat, D-color, flawless stone to mark the first anniversary of its salon on London's New Bond Street, the auction house said Thursday.
