An Intimate Bvlgari Cocktail at the Presidential Suite, Peninsula Manila

With its latest collection of brilliant diamonds, vivid gemstones and rich gold honed to perfection, the Italian jewelry powerhouse, Bvlgari recently hosted an intimate gathering of friends at the Presidential Suite of The Peninsula Manila. Bvlgari Country Manager Mario Katigbak always provides fresh originality on these vibrant exhibitions with his detail for perfection; and without a doubt, the latest display of contemporary high jewelry was a showstopper.

Mario proudly showed us Bvlgari’s captivating jewelry and watches, which were showcased on a pedestal, resplendent in its glory. Clearly one would expect a thick security glass encased display, yet the idea of having it open and easily reachable for the guests to try on the pieces proved irresistible.  These were of daytime chic and nighttime sophistication.

The privileged guests were treated to exquisite and unique luxuries.  The selection of jewelry and limited edition watches were unmistakably Bvlgari, as it unveiled their most iconic pieces, the Monete and Serpenti.  The collection carried one-of-a-kind pieces to ensure prime exclusivity, as these were part of the Bvlgari Collection International.

Champagne was the suitable accompaniment to the specialty hors d’oeuvres, as we enjoyed the inspiring piano pieces by Maestro Raul Sunico.  Color and glitter capped the impeccably stylish experience. (Do visit me at www.tinajacinto.com and like me in Facebook:  Tina Hidalgo Jacinto)
