Directors Notes
The design for the Tuboga necklace is based on the idea of a coiled serpent, a motif that has been prominent in jewellery design from Hellenistic times to the present. Bulgari are very concious of their cultural heritage and this creation offers a modern take on an ancient design tradition.
