Luxury and splendor of Marina B high jewelry art
The history of Marina B House began in 1979, when Constantine Bulgari’s daughter decided to leave the family business in Rome and found her own in Geneva. Marina believed that jewelry should be highly decorative, and she perfectly understood the desires of her contemporaries. Her catchy multi-colored pieces are easily recognizable and copied by many jewelry companies. Marina Bulgari often used black and colorless elements to accentuate the hues of precious stones.
Following her concept that jewelry should not only be suitable for both daytime and evening wear, but also match the color of the outfit, she began making ornaments in which it was possible to change precious stones.
Brooches and earrings were often “double-sided”, using a tiny mechanism, one surface of which was usually black – made of onyx or enamel – and the other completely covered with diamonds.
In the 1980s, the designer often used metal springs in the design of necklaces and bracelets, covered with precious metal. Thus, she brought back the popularity of collars, necklaces that quickly went out of fashion at the beginning of the 20th century.

From the beginning of her own business in 1980s to the late 1990s, she enjoyed a huge success. Used on international catwalks, and such fashionable resorts as Ibiza, St Tropez and St Moritz, her jewelry was popular with movie stars. In particular, Sophia Loren is a fan of these jewelry pieces. Marina B’s style was many years ahead of the fashion of its time.
After leaving for Monaco in 1993, Marina B retired in the early 2000s. In 2019 Guy Bedarida became the new creative director of the company, continuing to honor the heritage of Marina B.
