Bvlgari Kaleidos: A Colourful Tokyo Exhibit
The National Art Center, Tokyo presents the Maison’s largest-ever exhibition in Japan, showcasing 350 stunning pieces from its colourful heritage.
Big news for anyone into art, fashion, and serious glam! The National Art Center in Tokyo and Bvlgari are teaming up to drop “Bvlgari Kaleidos: Colours, Cultures and Crafts”—Bvlgari’s biggest show ever in Japan. We’re talking 350 stunning pieces, from iconic high jewelry to some legit archival gems.
The Ultimate Colour Drop
Bvlgari basically invented the colour-blocking trend for high jewelry back in the day, ditching the old-school rules to create some truly iconic looks. This show breaks down that whole colour journey in three chapters.
The first chapter, The Science of Colours, gets into the physics of it all with some seriously major pieces. Think a citrine bracelet from the 1940s that literally looks like a Roman sunset, and a wild necklace with emeralds, amethysts, and turquoise that proves Bvlgari has been mixing bold colours since forever.
Then there’s Colour Symbolism, which dives into the vibes and meaning behind different colours. This is where you’ll see some super rare jade jewels and the legendary Seven Wonders necklace from 1961—a piece so iconic it’s making its Tokyo comeback after ten years.
Finally, The Power of Light shows how light makes all those colours pop. This chapter is all about rare coloured diamonds and pearls, ending with a mind-blowing, one-of-a-kind gold necklace from the 60s that you can even wear as bracelets. It’s a total flex.
The Icing on the Cake
And to top it all off, you’ll see a vintage Serpenti evening bag from the ‘70s—a reminder that some designs just never go out of style.
You can catch this whole vibe at the National Art Center Tokyo from September 17 to December 15, 2025. Get ready to feast your eyes on a wild kaleidoscope of jewelry, art, and pure craftsmanship.
