What is the Bulgari Serpenti?
The iconic snake head emblem first appeared on a watch in Bulgari’s jewelry collection in the 1940s. As seen on Elizabeth Taylor in 1960s movie Cleopatra, the meticulously handcrafted serpent began to gain popularity in the fashion industry. Nowadays, it is seen on the brand’s handbags, watches, jewelry, and leather goods! An easily recognizable symbol of Bulgari, the serpent speaks for itself.
The serpent is a symbol of rebirth (shedding of skin) , healing (caduceus of intertwined snakes), seduction (Adam and Eve), and power said the brand's Chief Executive Jean-Christophe Babin in an article in the New York Times. Brand and heritage curator of Bulgari, Lucia Bascaini, said that the Serpenti, “was born out of a search for an object that was not meant to be that showy, but ratherc functional and modern.”
