WHAT TO GET
Dangerously Beautiful
Bulgari’s Serpenti Misteriosi Pallini slithers, glitters, and sings.
The simplest design ideas are often the most difficult to execute. So
when Bulgari design
director Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani
decided he wanted the
small gold bubbles on his Serpenti Misterioso Pallini
to make a delightful sound while in motion, he knew
he had a complex engineer- ing challenge ahead of him. So complex, in fact, it ended up requiring a patent for the bracelet’s movement.
The finished Serpenti— whose mouth opens to reveal a timepiece—is even easier
on the eyes than it is on the ears.The bracelet comes
with an 18-karat white-gold head and a white-gold and gold body and is set with 540 diamonds for a total of 24.9 carats. It’s the kind of acces- sory that’s made to be seen— and heard—on the red carpet. bulgari.com —max carlson
