Bulgari unveiled their new collection, Elisia Diamonds, in a stylish and creative affair held at The Rigodon ballroom of The Manila Peninsula. The launch was polished, perfect from start to finish. Guests arrived looking glamorous and were treated to champagne, wine and a caviar dinner. Bulgari is synonymous with elegance and this was evident as caviar topped off all the courses from appetizer to dessert. The menu was creative and unexpected, from the sorbet with champagne to the chocolate coins filled with blue cheese. The air was filled with anticipation as everyone eagerly anticipated the highlight of the night.

The fashion show started with models coming down the runway wearing the Elisia diamonds. It was a sight to behold, the diamonds caught the light perfectly and sparkled in the room. The gowns from Rustan’s complimented the jewellery well. The models then went to each table so that guests could get a closer look and try on the jewels. The guests were even more amazed upon closer scrutiny; each piece was encrusted in diamonds and had a unique and intricate creation, absolutely stunning. All the ladies were glowing as they got to wear the Bulgari pieces.
This new Elisia Diamond Collection is set apart with the use of diamonds as the first Elisia line is made of coloured stones. This new collection is a magnificent display of exceptionally fine, brilliant diamonds that takes the elliptical design as the inspiration. The elliptical shape, with no beginning and no end, is the most difficult of shapes to make. Bulgari executes it perfectly. Each piece is entirely pave set with diamonds and occasionally punctuated by larger stones. They compliment each other beautifully to create a collection that is both versatile and complete, ranging from necklaces to earrings, bracelets and rings that can be worn in a variety of combinations.

Bulgari’s grand launch was quite impressive. Guests were treated to champagne all through out the night as they marvelled about the remarkable Elisia Diamond collection. Another toast to Bulgari’s success for their dazzling Elisia Diamond Collection and for this unforgettable event.
