An exhibition at the National Art Centre, Tokyo synthesises the rich Roman heritage and effusive Italian spirit of luxury jewellery house Bulgari.

The Bulgari Kaleidos exhibition space, featuring artist Akiko Nakayama’s commissioned installation Echo.

With global tensions escalating, the lab-grown stone market exploding, and gold at an all-time price peak, one could assume that high jewellery has had its dolce vita day.
