The 80s, in a word? Extravagant. Drawing from the eclectic spirit of an era, Bvlgari designed its own cultural movement through rare gemstones and cutting-edge designs. The disco music, Andy Warhol’s art, the audacity in fashion and the dreams of the future: everything resounds in a collection that is fresh, from Rome and undeniably Bvlgari.

“Drawing on the empowerment, free spiritedness and experimentation of the electric 80s, with a special tribute to Andy Warhol, Wild Pop epitomizes Bvlgari’s rule-breaking approach to jewelry,” explained the Roman luxury house.

Precious, ultra-sophisticated and strikingly glamorous, each jewellery-watch of the collection is born to capture the excitement of life’s one-of-a-kind moments.
