Bvlgari, stylized as BVLGARI, is an iconic Italian luxury brand renowned for its exquisite jewelry, watches, fragrances, and accessories. Founded in 1884 by Sotirios Voulgaris, a Greek silversmith, the brand established its first shop in Rome, which remains its historical headquarters. Bvlgari transitioned from a master of silverware to a global titan of high jewelry, famously known for its bold designs, Roman-inspired motifs, and pioneering use of colored gemstones.

In 2011, the French luxury conglomerate LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton) acquired a majority stake in Bvlgari, integrating it into its prestigious portfolio of global luxury brands. Today, Bvlgari's products are synonymous with 'Made in Italy' craftsmanship, though its high-end watchmaking division is centered in Switzerland to leverage Swiss horological expertise. The brand remains a symbol of Italian elegance and luxury, managed under the strategic vision of the Arnault family through LVMH.
