Marina Bulgari is widely regarded as one of the most influential women in jewelry of our time.
In July of 1930, Marina Bulgari was born in Rome, Italy, the newest member of a family whose name is synonymous with luxury: her father, Constantino Bulgari, was the first child of BVLGARI jewelry company founder Sotirios Voulgaris.
Growing up, BVLGARI was a constant in Marina's life. When her grandfather, Sotirios passed away in 1932, Marina's father and uncle Giorgio, took over the family business.
Marina developed a passion for art, and design at a young age. After graduating from Saint Mary's College in England, she returned to Italy to begin contributing her designs to the BVLGARi studio.
Marina's understanding of jewelry style and proportion made her a vital asset to the brand, and in time, she opted to step out on her own.
Her adventurous and ambitious spirit led her to leave her family's famed Maison in 1976 in order to launch Marina B. Marina opened the first Marina B boutique in Geneva in 1978, and more soon followed in Paris, Milan and New York.
Marina Bulgari is widely regarded as one of the most influential women in jewelry of our time.
Marina B's designs perfectly captured the glamour of the 1980's, attracting a worldwide audience, including a number of celebrities and European nobility such as Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren, and Princess Grace.
