The Serpenti Collection, a Bulgari classic, is a love story between luxury and maximalism. Launched in the 1940s, it has continued to charm those with an eye for the extraordinary because run-of-the-mill has not place in my closet. The serpent motif, dating back to ancient Greek and Roman mythology, is a motif representing wisdom, vitality, and seduction. The classic Tubogas technique is achieved by crafting gold bands wrapped around a core in a helical pattern, and it results in a mesmerizing, flexible piece of jewelry. I do a lot of jewelry research and the Bulgari tubogas design is unreal!

There’s a certain mystique that surrounds indulging in extraordinary beauty and craftsmanship. Owning a Tubogas piece is an investment in both style and history. My cousin asked me what will I do when it’s time to pass on this incredible Bulgari watch to my girls. I told her, “when I die, they can figure it out! I’m enjoying it till I’m 6 feet under!” Truly though, the girls will figure this out if I buy myself the watch.
