What started as a tiny shop in Rome is now a top Italian export, with hotels and jewels that continue to dazzle.
The Jewelry: Authentic antique Greek and Roman coins have been a hallmark since heir Nicola Bulgari first started mounting his collection on gold in the 1960?s. Price upon request.
The Hotels: The company?s third property, Bulgari Hotel & Residences, London (rates not available at press time), opens in May.
The Amenities: Bulgari hotels stock their own delicately scented green-tea bath products.
The Idol: Elizabeth Taylor said Bulgari?s shop was a highlight of filming Cleopatra in Rome?so much so that Richard Burton remarked: ?The only word Elizabeth knows in Italian is Bulgari.?
The Backstory: Though the brand was originally launched in 1884, Sotirio Bulgari opened this shop on Rome?s Via dei Condotti in 1905; it still stands today.
The Bag: Snakeskin leather purse embellished with gold chains and replica coins. $3,200.
The Stars: Maggie Gyllenhaal in Bulgari sapphires and diamonds at the International Rome Film Festival.
