Bvlgari Serpenti Infinia & Seres Scarf: Two Capolavori from Eclettica

Key Highlights

• Both pieces are one-of-a-kind Capolavori within Bvlgari’s Eclettica High Jewelry collection, unveiled in Milan in March 2026.
• The Serpenti Infinia bracelet is built around a 7.49-carat diamond in a proprietary Serpenti cut, developed exclusively for this piece under Lucia Silvestri’s direction.
• Of the 1,800 total hours of craftsmanship the Serpenti Infinia required, 1,385 were devoted to diamond cutting alone.
• The Seres Scarf necklace is composed of more than 1,180 individual components shaped over 1,600 hours, centred on a 31.90-carat sugarloaf sapphire from Sri Lanka.
• The sapphire is set into a fully detachable brooch that can be repositioned anywhere along the necklace or worn independently.
• Eclettica totals more than 160 creations, including 15 transformable pieces and nine Capolavori.

The Essential Details

The Eclettica collection, presented at Villa Arconati and Villa Necchi Campiglio in March 2026, is the most ambitious High Jewelry release Bvlgari has assembled to date. Among its 160-plus creations, nine are designated Capolavori — a term that carries specific weight in the Maison’s lexicon, denoting objects that represent the outer limit of what its Roman ateliers can currently produce. Two of those nine are the subject here.

Lucia Silvestri, Bvlgari’s Jewelry Creative Director, has framed Eclettica around three artistic disciplines: painting, sculpture and architecture. The Serpenti Infinia bracelet belongs to the sculptural axis; the Seres Scarf necklace belongs to the pictorial. Considered together, they are Eclettica’s clearest statement of intent.

Stone Artistry & Setting

The Serpenti Infinia is constructed in white gold and coils four times around the wrist. Its scales are built from individually carved brilliant- and baguette-cut diamonds arranged in a wave-like rhythm, with buff-top rubies and pavé-set diamonds calibrated to preserve the sinuous curvature and the continuous play of light. Every element serves a single focal point: a 7.49-carat diamond of exceptional clarity, cut in a modified shield form that Bvlgari has named the Serpenti cut, never previously used by the Maison. The stone sits immovably in the serpent’s head, its depth and visual presence engineered to exceed what its carat weight alone would suggest.

The Seres Scarf takes an entirely different position. Its centrepiece is a 31.90-carat sugarloaf sapphire from Sri Lanka, chosen for its saturated, homogeneous blue. The sugarloaf cut — a cabochon-like antique form with a soft pyramidal peak — is favoured by Bvlgari for stones where colour and presence are the primary event. Rather than fixing that stone in place, the Maison has mounted it in a fully detachable brooch, worn separately or slid to almost any position along the necklace itself.

Material Engineering & Construction

The figures behind each piece are precise and revealing. Of the 1,800 total hours of craftsmanship the Serpenti Infinia required, 1,385 were spent on diamond cutting alone — a proportion that signals where the Maison considers the core artistry to reside. Bvlgari describes the bracelet as “a collective triumph of complementary masteries,” and the arithmetic supports the claim.

The Seres Scarf is composed of more than 1,180 individual components — sapphires, emeralds, diamonds and white gold — shaped and assembled over 1,600 hours. The resulting mesh flows across the collarbones with the fluidity of textile rather than metal, a visual reference the Maison draws from the geometric fabrics of Art Deco and the draped, luminous figures of Tamara de Lempicka’s portraits. The construction dissolves the conventional distinction between jewellery and woven cloth. Readers interested in how Bvlgari applies this level of gemstone ambition across its wider oeuvre will find instructive context in our coverage of Serpenti Viper Artsmanship and B.zero1 Artsmanship.

Why These Two Pieces Define Eclettica

The Serpenti Infinia and the Seres Scarf arrive from opposite creative directions but share the same underlying logic. Both are engineered around transformation: in the Infinia, the optical transformation of light across carved scales; in the Seres Scarf, the structural transformation made possible by a repositionable centrepiece. Both also rest on a specific technical innovation — a proprietary diamond cut in one case, an unprecedented mesh construction in the other.

As one-of-a-kind Capolavori, both pieces are available only on private request through Bvlgari’s High Jewelry boutiques. Pricing is disclosed under the same terms.
